* Login screen has full text to Lord's Prayer and Pledge of Allegiance, with Christian
and American symbols
Hmmm
* Online Bible in King James Version
* no other versions will be provided by default; we feel the KJV is the only
English version that can be fully trusted
Ah, not much in the way of choice there. Not very linux that, but at least it is fully
trusted. Try saying that about bind.
* chmod(1) accepts hexadecimal modes, such as 0x01B6
yip, otherwise to share we need chmod 666
* qmail replaces sendmail as the standard MTA (sendmail was written by a prominent
homosexual)
No comment.
* Hierarchical user structure, so parents and teachers can easily access children's
files without needing to become root
* No encryption provided; Christians have nothing to hide
* We have had concerns about the "no encryption" item ... but no worries, crypt(3)
will still be there. Sorry for the confusion, we do not generally consider it as
encryption, though, of course, technically it is. But since it is generally unsuitable
for anything other than password authentication, we don't see any problem with it.
* No cracking utilities provided; SAINT can be acquired from us later, after the user
has proven his worth
hey, what about satan?
* Also, we are seriously considering changing some fundamental OS features. The idea
would be that function calls and features suggesting evil and otherwise pagan ideas
would be changed.
* abort(3)
* kill(1)
* references to "daemon"
* NOTE: we do not believe words are inherently bad. We simply do not like these words
because of their connotations in different contexts. You do not have to agree, but you
will not change our minds.
If this isn't a joke, it's not funny. Even if it is a joke, ditto.
Of course, that is IMHO.
cheers
