    Endless debates about religious derivatives of Ubuntu

    no offence, but i don't see a point in this project of yours.

    Christian users can simply install those programs after they install the whole Operating System.

    It's about choice. And, probably, to have a nicer Ubuntu version to present to Christian computer users.

    That's a neat idea.

    Yes, I know and I expected someone to feel this way. In my opinion there are many Christians who simply do not realize that there are Christian Linux programs. I feel like having a real Christian Linux distro available will only bring more users to Linux and to Ubuntu. That is just my opinion though.

    God Bless, Jereme

    I agree. WIndows has become too secular.

    Too secular?

    I would think that M$ is just like Canonical; in that they are both trying to appeal to the majority of people, expecting the user to add anything else that they need to the OS's. For M$ you usually pay, for Ubuntu & the like, you rarely pay. (Edit: - Money that is!)

    So, does too secular mean that all OS's should be overtly associated with someone's version of God?

    I don't see the point of Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and Edubuntu either. After all, you can just install Ubuntu and add educational applications, right?

    Yes, but the desktop environment is a major part of the system. It would take a very long time to install kde and then uninstall gnome.

    More appz are not counterproductive to the diversity Ubuntu wants. Religious dogma is.

    The problem is WHERE do you stop making all these EDITIONS. isn't desktop environment enough?

    P.S. i propose a Ubuntu "Terrorist Edition" CD loaded with all the missile launching and bomb detonate control programs!

    I would like to encourage people to either contribute something useful to the conversation or move on. If the project doesn't interest you that's okay. There are lots more out there. You don't have to rain on someone else's parade.

    Back to the actual topic...
