Last time i checked, Commodore OS had a perfectly fine name - Ubuntu.

 I have a feeling what is released on the C64x will be slightly modified Ubunto vs heavily modified Ubunto.

Firstly, its Ubuntu (only one vowel in there, no need to add in extras), and secondly, there is no such thing as a "heavily modified" Ubuntu.  It will be ubuntu, drawing from ubuntu or medibuntu repos, and perhaps if BillyBob can afford serverspace somewhere, a "cawmmehDourOHS" repo that hosts their "Heavily Modified" Gnome DE.

As for writing their own monolithic or microkernel from scratch to beta testing in a year?  OH!  and all of the software (Windowing environments, device drivers - and good luck getting Nvidia/Intel/ATI to release the full HW specs so you can write your own!) that runs on top of it?  Yeah.  Gonna happen. :lol:

And of course Ubuntu itself will always be debian at it's heart.  Linux legacies are long and strong.

Baby steps, Persia...baby steps.  Dammy has a lot on his mind to go looking too deeply at the glorious twists and turns that are linux distributions.

Then you tell me exactly what C=USA is planning.


WELL, then!  Lemme tell ya!  They are planning on arriving way late to every party.  The whole PC clone market was done back in the early 2000s.

So exactly, IF C64/VIC do good (no reason why they shouldn`t, no reason why they should either as there are many PCs in many nice cases) THEN CUSA Amiga will be launched at all ELSE everything will be wapor as usual. Tan and see

So...if CUSA succeeds, everyone will listen to Reggae?

I was always a fan of Toots and the Maytals:
