    What vanity/how lame, I thought, to rename a well-known distro with your own name.
    Err, fail. :rolleyes:

    According to DistroWatch; ' Ubuntu Christian Edition is a free, open source operating system geared towards Christians.
    It is based on the popular Ubuntu. Along with the standard Ubuntu applications, Ubuntu Christian Edition includes the best available Christian software.    '

    For everyone who likes stuff as GnomeSword; ' a top of the line Bible study program', Edition 5.0 is ready for download.

    I can see it now: Ubuntu, Zeus Edition.

    Contains documentation on how to sacrifice animals, interpret oracles, and other Olympian rituals.

    Maybe we can get one based on Norse mythology as well, and Kernel Panics can be defined as "Ragnarok".

    This has been around for awhile.
    You also have Ubuntu Muslim Edition and Ubuntu Satanic Edition to choose from. :p

    Well, as mentioned by Thomas, it's not the only such implementation. Really doesn't seem all that failworthy to me. :rolleyes: :p

    A Ubuntu Christian edition is all too general-you have many sects & groups that are tagged as Christian.

    Perhaps yes, maybe some of them wouldn't agree with the "teachings" of the operating system. :p

    But really, this is just sort of the equivalent of the "Bible" theme for Firefox, and other such customizations available. ;)

    I want to make Ubuntu Emo Edition.
    Reboots every few hours to simulate the act of killing yourself.
