Anime + FreeBSD = LainOS
Chris Gilbert writes: "This Thursday, a new *BSD OS project went online which is entitled 'LainOS.' LainOS is for the most part a heavily recoded version of FreeBSD 4.5 made to eventually resemble Lain's Navi from the anime 'Serial Experiments Lain.' It sports an animated splash screen, a more fully integrated X server, and a custom graphical login interface, amoung several other improvments over FreeBSD and Linux. You can check the homepage out at http://www.lainos.org ."
Ok... I need to clear a few things up right this moment. This IS a OS. The theme is there because I got the site up just a few days ago, and that was my frist attempt at giving you some content to play with for the time being. I know that that file is a sawfish theme. Hell I made the theme so I should know that. However, LainOS is a Operating System. I have not yet released a distribution of it, thus your inability to download it at the moment. Keep in mind, LainOS 1.1 is already mostly completed, and the distribution will be coming to the public within a few months (considering things go accondingly)
About your Lain98 comment... this peveed me. Ok, how many Linux spinoffs are there? Are you calling them Linux98 to be spitefull? No. This is a OS using FreeBSD as a base. Not BSD with a sawfish theme, there are REAL kernel and X level rewrites in LainOS.
The site will have more content soon, but as I said, it's been up for THREE DAYS. And about your insult for me using PHPNuke... look around sourceforge. How many websites do you see that are single page simple crappy HTML? A perfect example is the GNU page. If my using PHPNuke has offended you so much, then I apologize for making a attempt at giving you some cool functionality to play with.
I hope this cleared things up.
