Linux turns 29: The biggest events in its history so far
A year by year summary of the most significant events in Linux's history to date.
Among these more obscure flavors of Linux are a few that you may not have encountered, but could be just what you need.
From its name, you might think Ubuntu Satanic Edition (USE) is the opposite of Ubuntu Christian Edition. It's not. According to its website, USE "brings together the best free software and free metal music on one CD". The Undead CD is based on Ubuntu 10.04 and includes all the standard software, along with a mélange of typically dark, heavy-metal themes, as well as a full 50-minute album of the best Creative Commons-licensed metal music.
Your choices?
If you know Linux, you will know that thousands of distributions exist. The list continues to grow every day. Have you come across an obscure Linux distribution that offers either much-needed functionality or something worth seeing or trying?
