Looking good.
It\'s got kinda a NeXT Step feeling to it.
I need another HD so I can put Linux up again on my box!!!

How come the bash console isn`t in Japanese, and why the hell would they run the english version of GIMP. Looks very suspicious to me.

If it wasn\'t for the Gimp I\'d think this was NeXT Step.Just made to look a bit more modern.

It\'s probly a Linux theme (god knows there are alot of them out there),since NeXT has been dead for years.

See NeXT here

I just don\'t get this phrase from the source:

"Sony of Japan has released the first image of the actual Linux setup operating on a OS."
WTF? The actual Linux setup operating on a OS? Linux IS an OS... :laughing:

Hot damn I didn\'t notice that Samwise. :laughing:

And Fast I was being sarcastic.

Personally I think they should have put BeIA on it instead of Linux.It\'s more userfriendly,designed for the internet and it would be a nice boost for Be inc.

Hehe, no, I wasn\'t trying to make fun of you. I just saw the phrase from PSERA and found it to sound a bit strange. :)
