Carlos Eduardo Morimoto is the author of Kurumin, a Linux distribution based on Knoppix.
[citation needed] After almost ending the project, due to many complaints from users in his forums and technical problems, mostly caused by the fact that Kurumin was based on Debian unstable, which is not targeted to non-experienced users, and was the majority of Kurumin users, Morimoto improved it and it reached its success.
He is also the author of several books about hardware and software, especially Linux, all published in Brazil, his home country.
[citation needed] After abandoning Kurumin, Morimoto gradually left his other projects: "Guia do Hardware" website, then the books, and finally, all his material belongings, choosing to leave worldly affairs and live his Hare-Krishna religion full-time.
Morimoto changed his name to "Caitanya Chandra Dasa" and lives near Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul.
