RebeccaBlackOS

I got the idea to name a Linux distribution after my favorite celebrity after I saw some earlier Linux distributions named after celebrities, and also this KDE blog post. http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/2011/05/02/splash-screens-and-qml/
And then I thought, she deserves the free promo too.

This is amongst the first live distributions to provide a Wayland server.

There is a 32 bit and 64 bit ISO

(It does NOT have her copyrighted music, or photos on the ISO. You have to buy her music legally on iTunes (or Amazon, etc)))

The build scripts in the SVN is available for you to modify and build your own version of this project.

This distribution is 3RD PARTY fan made. Yes. I am a fan of Rebecca Black.

The latest ISO now has a login manager for Wayland, and now it has removed X from the startup path of the system.

Are you planning a 64bit version?

Not sure if the this is too late for you or not, but there are 64 bit ISOs, and there have been for some time, it's just that 32 bit is still the default download, as there might still be folks with Intel Atom netbooks from ~2010

Blech! "RebeccaBlackOS"? Are you serious? And for that matter why does junk like "Hannah Montana Linux" and "Justin Bieber Linux" exist?
