Its name translated to English is Magic Box.
It uses the RPM Package Manager. There are two editions: Desktop and Server.
This project was created in 2000 by Paulo Trezentos and Daniel Neves at ADETTI, a Portuguese research centre.
In 2004 there was a need to restructure the project because of the growth of the team and new challenges faced, so a spin-off of ADETTI was created, designated by "Caixa Mágica Software".
