Convert Your Computer

Ah, the things one comes across when browsing the web. On Thursday, I came across Christian Ubuntu and Linux for Christians.

Christian Ubuntu is built upon Ubuntu's 6.06 LTS "Dapper Drake" and features, on top of Ubuntu's default installed programs, GnomeSword Bible-study software, Dan's Guardian for stopping people looking at what they shouldn't and a daily Bible verse feature. Best of all, you don't have to install afresh, as there is a script to convert your Ubuntu installation to Ubuntu CE v.1.3.

For a real laugh, visit Christian Ubuntu on Blogspot, a completely unofficial spoof blog with witty remarks about the release. Here are some of the great remarks from it:

For 40 days before Easter, Ubuntu Christian Edition works in text mode only.

Ubuntu Christian Edition uses Enlightenment for its windowmanager/desktop.

Dual boot is not possible in Ubuntu Christian edition. "Thou shalt have no other operating systems before Me...".

To install wine in Ubuntu Christian Edition, you simply enter apt-get install water.

After some idle time, Ubuntu Christian Edition starts praying to save the screen.

Ubuntu Christian Edition's chmod doesn't allow 666 permission to be set.

Ubuntu Christian Edition won't run on Apple computers. He said not to touch them.

And so it goes on :)
