I'm personally holding out for an Ubuntu Elder God/Lovecraftian Horrors (Ubuntu-EG)edition. But I guess we'll just have to wait "until the stars come right" again.

Ia Shub-Niggurath! Cthullu Ftaghn!

YAAPV. Yet Another Atheist Point of View:

This little "atheist" twerp is just another unthoughtful fundamentalism who is embolden by the "anonymity" of the Internet, and is just looking to pick a fight. "IT'S US OR THEM!" these people exclaim with a lot less correct punctuation and far more swearing and mistakes.

The literal definition of an atheist is a person without belief in a deity/god. The rest of us that don't live our lives on the Internet like obnoxious 12 year olds take it to the next step and hold only hold beliefs that do not interfere with secularism. Some of us go even further as to try and eliminate superstitions from our local culture, which is what I try to uphold.

Essentially, your of atheist is not only undeclared, but the practiced one in this article is unfair to most of us self-declared atheists. I know of many Christians in my locality (Northern Midwest of the U.S.A.) who deny that groups like The Church of Latter Day Saints are actually Christian, and they only have a Christian origin.

I seem to be the first non-Atheist, non-Muslim, non-Christian to reply :-)

Are you absolutely sure that was the best Atheist response you could find? Because I wouldn't call that guy an atheist; I'd call him a smug little wanker :-D

You forgot about Ubuntu Satanic Edition.
Why didn't you quote a satanist?
That would have been fun.

The atheist you quoted is a retard and what he said is completely irrelevant in the Linux matter.
I'm an atheist too but I would never say what he said.

Linux is extremely diverse. Nobody can stop that because this is how it is made. There are Linux distributions for almost anything you can think of.
I have no problem with that but for newbies it's kind of difficult to choose.

## Red devil, communism is against freedom and Linux is everything about freedom.

Che Guevara is just a vulgar slayer and you're a confuse boy buying criminal propaganda.

As an atheist, I'm offended by the last comment you posted (from "an anonymou atheist"). I really don't think you should include this poor written, immature invective as an atheist's view. It's rather a pert kid's view.

So where is Ubuntu Biker Edition? Surely we bikers count for something, right?

Hey Jun,
You're a braver man than me!
I recently included a reference to Che Guevara in a Linux review and caused a right old fuss - I wouldn't touch religion and Linux with a ten-foot stick!
You're right about the atheist poster, BTW - brain the size of an ant - and I'm a secular atheist, so I'm allowed to say that.
Keep up the good work!

I am profoundly atheist, but not in the childish, redneck manner your anonymous user depicts atheism.
Religion is a private matter based on irrational beliefs one can neither prove scientifically nor dismiss.
The axis of the debate here is different, though.
I tend to agree with the view of that Muslim fellow. There are way too many distros out there to create even more spin offs which bear no technical merit and only serve propaganda purposes. OSS religious software is available allover the net, there's no need to sell it out as a distro.
On a side note, the Christian dude looks more akin to Aleister Crowley then to Jesus. "Do What Thou Wilt" :)

Interesting article. I do however find it strange that apparently the best atheist viewpoint was laden with foul language. It seems a pity that the atheist viewpoint has to be seen as the reactionary one made with little thought.

As a fully paid up atheist, I'd like to remedy that situation.

The point of Linux, it seems to me, is that it is eminently forkable at any stage from the kernel to the distro level. That there is an Ubuntu Christian Edition, Ubuntu Muslim Edition, or indeed potentially in the future an Ubuntu Flying Spaghetti Monster Edition thus is a testament to the flexibility of Linux.

Though it might seem that using GNU/Linux to indoctrinate youth is a Bad Plan TM, GNU/Linux is also used in military systems and is no doubt put to other unsavory uses. It seems that to single out a particular religious edition and ignore other uses simply because a distro is a highly visible aspect of usage is unfair, at the least. GNU/Linux itself is agnostic: a tool. Attempting to bar usage by a particular sect would be both futile and, if it were possible, damaging to the flexibility of the system.

I do hope that there are many versions of Ubuntu Christian/Muslim edition which have their copy of Dan's Guardian bypassed by the non-administrative users because using a distro to limit the potential of a child to educate themselves with all the information available on the web is definately a Very Bad Thing TM
