Someone could've stood to do a little more research on the name before picking it...not to mention that it's easily the most completely non-indicative name I've ever seen for a piece of software. Shortening "AmigaOS 4" to "OS4" is one thing, within the scope of a community that understands the reference, but just calling your Linux distribution "OS..." It's like selling a particular brew as "BEER," or perhaps "BEER 4." Dumb.

LULZ! Maybe Hyperion will get an influx of cash from this, as people accidentally buy copies of OS4.1, thinking it's the update.

"Oh, no! That's a different one. We have no refunds, I'm sorry. Here. Buy one of our 3k+ computers, so you can run it."  ;P

It looks like its essentially Xubuntu with a few of the repositories that are disabled by default enabled, and an "innovative desktop layout" that is really just a copying NeXT - illustrated by even ripping off the NeXT cube logo.
