As Alexandre just pointed out to me, it's YAUV (Yet Another Ubuntu Variant) in 
which the Enlightenment window manager replaces Gnome. It's still in beta.

Let's see... so far we've got Kubuntu for KDE fans, Xubuntu for xfce users, 
Edubuntu that retains Gnome, but is aimed at educational environments, and a 
while back there was speculation that Google was going to bring out their 
version (Gubuntu). Will Brubuntu be a Brazilian localization, or will it be 
for beer drinkers? How about Wubuntu for a version that runs Windows apps 
using Wine? Oh yeah, why not Fubuntu for people that want fmmv? And, for the 
command line folks, why not Clubuntu?

Where will this madness end?
