Oh it must have taken them ages to build the script that will automate it. Someone over on their forum did bring up a good point about where the updates will be coming from.

I imagine they would be coming from Conical or Mint repro's. I can't see CUSA doing it. Because lets face it they are offering no other support other than the forum community and a link to the Mint forums.

I guess it'd be tacky to bring up that "24/7 support" was promised over and over.

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.  


Dell stated in response to the MS campaign that they saw the same percentage of returns on netbooks whether they ran linux or windows.

Ha ha, no. Tweaking amiwm would be work.


Too bad, since a more polished amiwm would have been excellent.

Waiting for Barry The Messiah (At AW.net dubbed Baron Vladimir Harkonnen) to decide what OS they gonna rip next time. Sorry, base CommodoreOS on


Maybe they can do a KDE based disc next. You know.. "Kommodore Does Everything".

Hey, that's not so bad.. I should write that down before they steal it.

There are also the medibuntu stuff (for googlemaps, win32 codecs, etc.  The things that aren't enabled by default in normal ubuntu due to not having US friendly distribution licenses.)


What's the betting pool that Barry haven't paid for proper licensing for these things?
