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."

    Didn't you all hear about the fork in the Christian Ubuntu? Apparently, one of the developers sent in 95 patches, but they were rejected. Now there's a Protestant Christian Ubuntu. The main difference is that the Protestant version has no icons. Source

    Oh please, oh please, for the love of Ubuntu, do refrain from using the word naked and RMS in the same sentence.

    Thanks!

    One of the reasons I use Linux is that it is a secular operating system. I have bad experiences with religion and I have a problem with religious organizations tainting Linux and the secular philosophy of openness and transparency.

    Religion is pro-censorship, pro-dogma, and the antithesis of everything that the Linux movement stands for in my opinion.
