Ubuntu Christian Edition 5.0 Beta

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-would-jesus-use dept.

JimLynch writes "Back in 2006, when I was writing for ExtremeTech, I reviewed a version of Ubuntu with a religious theme: Ubuntu Christian Edition. At one point it seemed as though Ubuntu CE had been discontinued but I was pleased to note today that it has apparently been brought to life again and so I decided to do a full review Ubuntu CE 5.0 for DLR."

    There, fixed that for you. For Chissake (cough), get your facts right.

    Personally I can't see myself using it (I'd feel inhibited swearing at my computer), but the idea opens up a whole array of questions: what would other religious themed distros be like?

    Note to the humour impaired: stop reading, NOW. I am only jesting - or trying to insult everyone simultaneously - take your pick..

    Amish distro: black & white, terminal mode only (loved because it gets so much more work done on very basic kit)
    Jewish distro: needs 7 monitors, which the supplier will gladly sell you
    Calvinistic distro: will install Windows instead. Life is suffering.
    Muslim distro: based on vast scientific knowledge well preceding other distro's but webcam support doesn't work for female users - a problem that slowly disappears.
    Scientology distro: auto-edits Wikipedia entries, and the DVD is hard to use as it keeps hovering in the air - which makes for a great coaster.

    etc etc. I need more coffee for this..

    there already is a Muslim distro
    not sure if CE came before ME but Ubuntu ME exits
