> Ubuntu Christian Edition is a free, open source operating system geared towards Christians. It is based on the popular Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.
> The goal of Ubuntu Christian Edition is to bring the power and security of Ubuntu to Christians. Ubuntu Christian Edition is suitable for both desktop and server use. The current Ubuntu release supports PC (Intel x86).
> Ubuntu Christian Edition includes more than 16,000 pieces of software, but the core desktop installation fits on a single CD. Ubuntu Christian Edition covers every standard desktop application from word processing and spreadsheet applications to web server software and programming tools.
> Along with the standard Ubuntu applications, Ubuntu Christian Edition includes the best available Christian software. The latest release contains GnomeSword, a top of the line Bible study program for Linux based on the Sword Project. There are several modules installed with GnomeSword including Bibles, Commentaries, and Dictionaries.
> Ubuntu Christian Edition also includes fully integrated web content parental controls powered by Dansguardian. A graphical tool to adjust the parental control settings has also been developed specifically for Ubuntu Christian Edition. These features are truly what sets Ubuntu Christian Edition apart.

I actually tried out one of the download links to make sure it wasn't an ellaborate prank.

Looks like they used "Ubuntu Customization Kit" ( http://uck.sourceforge.net/ ) to create their distro.
Since making decent working Linux distros is becoming easier every day, as evidenced by the many liveCDs created only for one specific use or to showcase a specific software, and since Mozilla has helped a lot grassroots open-source marketing, what do you think will happen next?
Will every opiniated nerd try to co-opt Linux/FOSS or to market it to minorities?
