What is Ubuntu Christain Edition?

[kjb34]

While going through the Ubuntu forums I found this sub forum. Just curious what's the difference between regular Ubuntu and the Christian edition?

Basically, it's a distribution directly based on Ubuntu but containing some programs geared toward Christians. Seems like a weird thing to me simply because I could get the regular version of Ubuntu and use the Internet to find plently of Christian websites and such, but whatever floats your boat I suppose.

One thing I see that is different though that Ubuntu doesn't have are some apps such as parental controls. Looks like this also strives to help protect children.

I see. Thanks for your help

There are good implementations of parental controls in OS X 10.5 Leopard and Windows Vista. I hope that Ubuntu 8.04 or at least 8.10 will bring a simple built in interface to manage such things.

Please someone help us out!
