Posted by kdawson on from the dark-side-of-the-moon dept.

Someone over at IBM Developerworks who prefers anonymity writes "Depending on what you want to do, there is probably a commercial or free distro built on the Eclipse platform waiting for you.

    Fry: You mean while I'm sleeping in it?
    Zapp: You won't have time for sleeping soldier, not with all the bed making you'll be doing.
