[CS-FSLUG] Ubuntu Christian Edition 1.0

[xxx xxxx]

Hello,
I have spoken (via email) with the creator of this new Christian linux and 
and he is an evangelical born again christian from France. His desire is to 
give something to the Christian community. He was devoting his time and 
skills to make something nice and benificial for other followers of Christ, 
out of his own heart.
Mash, No One said that the distro was a living breathing Christian, what 
they mean is that it is geared towards Christians. The tools and enviroment 
are designed to be of benifit for Christians.

Let's not accuse this person or bash him for using his God given talents to 
serve and edify the Body of Christ.

Thanks Don Parris for your encouraging words.
