Tuesday, August 07, 2012:
Adafruit has developed its own Linux distro for Raspberry Pi called Occidentalis v0.1--a play on 'Rubus occidentalis', the Latin term for the black raspberry. It is meant for hardware hacking and teaching electronics using the credit card sized Raspberry Pi computer.
Occidentalis v0.1 includes Hexxeh’s firmware, the ability to either turn on or optimise SSHD access, a 4GB SD image, Bonjour networking, ssh keygen on first boot, Realtek RTL8188CUS WiFi support and other tools to help provide easier hacking.

Adafruit explains: “This is our first distro, Occidentalis v0.1. Rubus occidentalis is the black raspberry. It is derived from Raspbian Wheezy (July 15th). We have made a few key changes to make it more hardware-hacker friendly!”
"Please keep in mind, we are not full time linux distro maintainers - we will try to fix any bugs we find but this distro is not for beginners or people who are new to linux," it adds.
