Hi!

Just dropped in to say downloaded the first disc yesterday and it took 6 hrs and have just finished d/l the second disc and it took just 17 minutes using Linux Mint and Transmission!!

As the late Sir Jimmy Savile would have said, "Ows about that then, guys and gals?!"

I'll try burning it and see what occurs.

Big deal!

Not being huffy, just saying that it's Linux Mint. There is no COS, it doesn't exist.

I gave it a download (disc 1) and ran it from the live CD, and yeah that's exactly what it is.  It's Linux mint with a CUSA wallpaper and a blue Gnome theme with the chickenhead logo plonked in various locations, and err.. that's it.

They didn't even change the bootscreen, after you select the boot you get the Linux Mint boot logo.

What facts?   The ones that were already known?  

Do you say there is no Ubuntu it's just Debian?

Wait how about there is no Debian it's just Linux + GNU with wallpapers and utilities!!!

Get over it.

Nah...just saying that it has nothing to do with Commodore or Amiga. I don't give a flying fock about Linux. There is no such OS as Commodore OS. It's a Linux distro with some make up.

Flame me if you want, but I'm a Cusa fan.  I'm most likely going to buy a Vic model.  I have
just sent CUSA an email asking about the VicPlus and Pro model.  I hope I get a reply sometime next week.

Why flame you.... It's your decision at the end of the day. If it makes you happy then go for it.

Seems to be mint with a bunch of software installed.  Not a big fan of gnome myself, I prefer KDE, and I prefer to chose my own software, but who knows with a bit of work it could be a good way to introduce folks to Linux.  

Linux's big fail is that it has never appealed to non-Geeks.  When there was a move to Linux in net books there were numerous articles about people confused and discouraged by Linux.  There was even an article about someone wanting to drop out of tertiary education in the US because she got Linux instead of MS Windows.  

Linux's big success has been Android, which has acquired a dominant position in smartphones and a second place in tablets.

As for computers in a keyboard, I think they made sense in the days before laptops but their time is largely passed.  They are a novelty item in 2012, nothing more.
