Screenshots for "Ubuntu Linux Christian Edition"
The three screenshots below can be clicked to enlarge.
For purposes of this blog, I'm interested in the Ubuntu Christian Edition as a part of the phenomenon of customized Linux distributions. Another example of that would be Bioknoppix, a live CD distribution that was packaged by a molecular biology professor for his students. I intend to report about the concept from a cultural perspective, nothing too geeky; this isn't a Linux blog.
The first shot shows the Ubuntu gnome desktop, featuring the famous (some might say "infamous" Ubuntu muted earthtones.
The second shot features the mozilla-firefox browser, including some interesting customizations with Christians in mind. Note the quote from scripture at the top of the frame; it changes everytime you open the browser.
The third shot demonstrates what happens when I attempt to load a porno site; the page is blocked. Needless to say, parents who don't consider themselves Christians could find such a feature useful. I sure its available outside of this distribution, but I don't know how or where to get it. (Firefox extensions, maybe?)
