A team led by Russian WikiFur administrator Shnatsel have released the first beta of a furry-themed version of Linux distribution Ubuntu.
The collaboration includes a boot skin, several wallpapers by Kosh (Alexander Faolchu), icons, a Metacity themes, a GIMP splash screen, and eight sets of smilies. A full GTK+ theme and logon screen are scheduled for future builds.
A prior effort to create such a distribution — Furbuntu — appears to have stalled in 2008.

Well does anything else come with it though?
Yes - the Ubuntu software itself. :-)
...I'm going to wait till more programs are added.
Already saw this system. Well... It looks nice. :3
Looks like it's time to learn to use Linux.
A finished 9.10 remix is released.
why is there no new version? It would also be great to have a live CD / DVD
There was a slightly newer version, but that probably doesn't count as "new" anymore.
As for why... sanctions? Shnatsel's spending his time on Rust now (and may be a pony). Not sure about the other team members.
