Ubuntu Muslim Edition 8.04


Recommended Posts

Shock horror. The Ubuntu Muslim Edition has been out for quite a while. So has the Christian Edition. What? It's been updated to Hardy Heron?

Surprise... surprise! SHIFT LINUX IS THE SAME.

The wonderful thing about Linux is that it is FREE. And the cool thing about Ubuntu is that it's child's play to tweak it and come up with your own distro. I myself have made no less than TEN variants that suit the needs of me and my family and friends. It is SO easy, and FREE, and LEGAL.

I don't know if badcat was after 'shocking us all' about Muslims, but whether or not he was, it's wrong to take the fact that there is a Muslim version of Ubuntu as somehow worthy of pricking us till we bleed. If the majority of Neowin (proud Windows-users, whom I respect) could see into my head at how simple it is to make your own 'themed' distro of Linux, and how liberating the ability to do that actually is, you'd all be hardcore switchers right now, right here. :D

I disagree, while I do use Linux for my servers - I dont want to use it for my personal computer.

I really dont care how easy it is to theme it as Windows can be themed too.

Sure I can't strip everything possibly hardcore out of it but I can use XPLite/Vlite.

Ridiculous statement imho

On topic though: I dont have an issue with a Ubuntu Muslim Edition, I just find it quite funny how the religions each have their own distro. :p

...

People in the UbuntuME formus seem happy about it, that looks like reson enough to keep on making it. This could get more people to try Linux. +ZAnwar said it best:

...

If it brings more people to linux, then great.

But it's the duplication of effort and fragmentation that annoys me (in general, I can't see the need to make new distros with such a small amount of changes that you can count them on one hand)

Why not - isn't that one of the very Unique Selling Points of Linux?

Cheers though, as it may just bring me to the Linux side. I would have probably never used a distro before due to not knowing how to customize, etc. This just makes it a bit easier.

If a crappy GDM theme and a Qu'ran reader is the make or break difference for a Muslim to use Linux, then that's a sad affair!

--edit: Also, can't wait for Ubuntu Jolly Jihad.

NEWSFLASH!

The (pr)Ubuntu, (procrastinator's version) has had it's release date postponed AGAIN!

That suits me because I'm still not ready yet to make the switch. Maybe next month, perhaps.

Actually, I really couldn't give a **** one way or the other so I'd probably just go for ApUbuntu, the Apathete's version, (if I could be bothered).

Well can we have an Atheists version then?

I've got to be special somehow!

There will be an agnostic version, a lesbian version a homosexual man version a neuter version.

Who cares if there is an Islamic version, do you want a Jewish version of the Q'oran and a Muslim version of the Torah?

They are just beliefs, nothing more or nothing less.

So far Linux gives me nothing that Windows can't. It probably gives less. No harm in trying something new.

To each their own, I guess.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses.
