Any heard of/use/know anything about a distribution called "Linux XP"??

I've seen it floating around mostly on Ebay, was just wondering if anyone else has seen it/heard about what have you...

A Google search shows these two:
http://www.linux-xp.ru/

http://www.tuxfiles.org/antihelp/linux-xp.html

It appears to be a Russian produced version of the Fedora Core distro.

Have you read these ??

One of the "features"

"Trojan Horse downloads. The Linux XP's website has huge software download archives, and the users can easily download many different Trojan horses to their system. And because every normal user on a Linux XP system has the same rights as the root user, our customers can be confident that the damages caused by Trojans are maximized on a Linux XP system, thus letting the users experience exciting moments."

I thought the same thing, then I read the part where it sayys "antihelp section"

A tongue-in-cheek distro?

That's what I thought when I had a look through it. Sounds VERY interesting. I just read what a friend sent me of a guy testing how to run win32 viruses on his linux machine using WINE - with good sucess.

I wouldn't trust this, it's russian, so its probably made by the mafia!

But Lynch was right -
"Of course Linux XP uses its own modified Linux kernel, with a new code that makes the operating system crash randomly."
It is just taking the micky out of WinXP.

Read on; there's no command line!

No command line. The command line is often confusing people, and it looks too much like MS-DOS, so Linux XP doesn't have a command line at all! The X Window System starts up automatically when the system boots up, the user won't be able to switch to another virtual terminal, and there are no terminal emulators whatsoever. This has two advantages. First, the user doesn't have to even see the command line which would look like old and obsolete DOS. Second, when the X Window System crashes, the whole Linux system becomes unusable because the user can't go to the command line. This will force the user to press the computer's Reset button, thus giving him the same feel as in Windows.

Well, I love windows, so I reckon this is the distro for me!
