Here is an interesting item a non-believer friend of mine sent to me. It's a "Christian" Linux distribution. You heard me right. Apparently they bundled some Christian software in (how much Christian software runs under Linux??) and configured some filtering in a family-friendly way, and are marketing it as "Christian Ubuntu" (Ubuntu is a specific Linux distribution).
He found it quite strange and I can't say I disagree with him, though I can see the point. There is a line between good taste and bad taste in marketing to the Christian population and this may cross it. Maybe taste is not the right word; "propriety" might be better.
This goes along the lines of the Dell Ubuntu options. If you're a geek, Christian or not, you'd know how to configure this yourself. If you're not a geek, Christian or not, you don't want Linux/Ubuntu.
I *can* see selling a 'christian' branded PC, pre-set up with monitoring software, filters and popular kids programs and the like.
And finally, I can post un-filtered, un-censored and without needing "approval" from Eric. Woo Hoo! What danger has he brought upon himself by granting me this privilege?!?!?
