Well, fancy this, there *IS* a GNUstep killer app, called Cenon, available at http://www.cenon.info/ . It also happens to run under OS X.
"An encrypted higher bandwidth Commercial Service with improved accuracy will be available at an extra cost, while the base Open Service will be freely available to anyone with Galileo compatible receiver."
GNUstep (http://www.gnustep.org) applications use application bundles as well. This tends to piss off a lot of anal-retentive folk, especially in the anal-retentive Debian Developer reality, but we do it because it ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE. It doesn't make sense to have stuff for one app in ten different non-parentally-unified folders.
I strongly suggest you check it out, if you've not previously. I'd personally like to see a unified AppBundle Freedesktop standard. Rox also uses AppBundles, as far as I know, and it would be nice to have a unified and mutually agreed upon format for them. Maybe you'd be up to the task of coordinating it. If so, subscribe to the gnustep-discuss mailing list (see the website for a link) and let's see what we can work out.
I have been told that http://iterm.sf.net might be able to do this with some special DOS fonts I know nothing about. Give it a whirl. The authors are really nice people, and might be willing to help if you have questions.
My latest, yet-to-be-released project, PortabilityKit, solves this problem. It bridges the gap between GNUstep and OS X, when it comes to Cocoa classes at least. Carbon is a beast of its own, and Apple does not condone its' use for new projects.
There have been several attempts at creating GNUstep distributions; LinuxSTEP (development halted for now) and Simply GNUstep spring to mind. I'm a devoted GNUstep user, and frankly you could easily make a Debian-derived GNUstep based distro. Are you interested in helping?
I had had so much trouble and crap from Qwest when trying to switch from Qwest.net (this was before the MSN thing) to a third-party ISP (which, I might add, I'm very pleased with) that I contacted the Oregon State Public Utilities Commission. I was told point-blank that DSL services in Oregon were not regulated in ANY way by any agency. This certainly explained a lot. Furthermore, I was told that this is very common in other states as well. I don't know what it would take to convince the PUC's that they need to be regulating DSL service, but it would certainly be in everybody's (everybody as in the customer's) best interest.

Wrong. Do your homework before you make idiotic claims such as "Galileo will not be fre"

Hi there,

lets discuss...send me an email.
