A new derivative of Ubuntu - Ubuntu Christian Edition

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).

See here for more info

What made me laugh was the url "whatwouldjesusdownload.com"

And the funny thing is that these raving bible bashers probably can't see past the farce

Why do Christians need their own version of Linux?

that just

daft

Off Topic:

they'll be bringing one out for the icelandic next

The distribution is being sold under false pretences anyway. From what I can see, there is not much difference between the orginal ubuntu besides a few 'Christian based' programs.

Christians will buy anything with the 'Jesus' tag in the hope that they are doing 'some good'. What a load of sh1t!

I know it's free!

I was just using the term 'buy' generally speaking.

Big B · 22-08-2006, 05:06 PM

I'm failing to understand why any religion would need it's own OS. You're absolutely right how Christians will buy something with Jesus on it. Jesus has been turned into a label just like Calvin Klein, Gap, Levi, etc.

So, let's see here: your faith is based on someone who was executed for nothing, which saves you from going to hell, and you put him on your shirt? Riiight. I'm still waiting for the "Jesus is my Homie" T-shirts, longsleeves, and baby dolls to hit shelves. The more I study Christianity, the more I see how the mainstream Christian movement is being run by hippies.

To be fair, there's at least some Christians that would elict a WTF about Cbuntu.

It's Ubuntu with the Bible in it and a parental filter....woop-dee-frickin'-doo. Linux just got the first kook edition.

Now it's only a matter of time before we see Al Qaed-ix (the Muslim Linux) or Hara-Krishnix (for Hindus)...maybe even Catholix

god i hope not, religon can be blamed for many wars, now their bringing religon to linux - SAD

harrack52 · 22-08-2006, 05:51 PM

I'd rather use a Christian Windows. If Jesus can't stop spyware, who can ?

Big B · 22-08-2006, 05:59 PM

And we all know...Jesus saves. The stability of the OS doesn't matter much at that point

Anti-Trend · 22-08-2006, 06:05 PM

Dan's Guardian out of the box... if they sold this thing in Christian bookstores, it'd go faster than discount crack in Compton.

What makes it Christian, exactly? Well, the Ichthys (fish symbol) of course!

Big B · 22-08-2006, 06:35 PM

What makes it Christian?

Non-serious answer: The name Christian. Duh

Serious answer: I have no freaking clue.

The parental controls are a good idea, and there's nothing wrong with what appears to be the Bible text document included in it. However, that doesn't really classify that as Christian. Take out the Bible text and it's no more or less 'Christian' than any other flavor of Linux. It's about as Christian as a crusader's sword. Does it become heathen when not used by a Christian, or in this case, not the 'Christian' edition? Does this mean that BSD is the Satan OS or something? It's just so silly. Where's the match for me to buy tickets too?

Anti-Trend · 22-08-2006, 06:44 PM

That Bible application, "Sword", is available on all Linux distros, as is Dan's Guardian. But I guess this is a little old lady distro?

Here you go. And how about this one?

Matt555 · 22-08-2006, 07:30 PM

I've been chuckling to myself whilst reading this thread, for some reason this whole religious thing reminded me of a Dane Cook clip I saw recently. I don't know why, maybe it's because I find religion funny.

I imagine the box would do the same thing as the cereal box he describes. Maybe when you type it'd make the sound he makes whilst eating the 'cereal'

"Cubuntu - Linux for the holy"

New from Microsoft --> Windows XP: Evangelical Edition

New from Apple --> Mac OSX-mas

Saddening, really. And I thought Christian-metal music was bad enough. I think in between all the screaming and gutteral noises, the lead singer is shouting: RRRAAGGGGGHGGHHHHHHH (I love you Jesus) GGGRRRRAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH. Sigh...
