Dipped in Ubuntu
DexOS looks like a possible good candidate for my media centre rebuild. I might give it a try, only I'll have to find a way to make it boot from CD because even if I could find a floppy disk, my media PC doesn't have a floppy drive to read it (I don't have a punched card reader neitherOriginally Posted by mips

Fresh Brewed Ubuntu
Nice found.
Tall Cafè Ubuntu
Quite a few of them are Amiga based, interesting.
My recommended method for installing UbuntuStudio.
Yes, I use 64-bit.

That's because the Amiga was the best system ever built (in its day)

Agreed, way ahead of its time.That's because the Amiga was the best system ever built (in its day)

As noted by the link, Atari is alive and well.
What they REALLY do now can be found in a Google of "Video Toaster".
There are very few professional video production/post production facilities that do not have at least ONE and many (such as Real To Real in San Francisco) have BANKS of them. A bunch of them at Lucas film and at Zoetrope (Coppola), too!
First Cup of Ubuntu
Humm... I'm not sure that it's good - a lot of different OSes. But I'm sure, that there will be no any OS from this list really worth using. The one will have its bugs and shortcomings, the other will have its.
After all, every of the OS in list is ugly. Design and usability are really important parts of the good software, and all design and usability specialist prefers working in big companies. So, the future of operating systems is in software giant's hands.

Why?
All software has bugs.
Some of the OS's in the list look really promising & innovative.
A couple of them I have been watching develop for some time, & look forward to the day when they are fit for general usage. Everyday that goes by they are a day closer.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Many people will disagree with your statement.
That argument will never stand up, as there are just too many great pieces of software, DE's, WM's & OS's, that have been created by FOSS & other dev's to prove your statement false.
After the corporations go broke, the little people just keep on creating.
5 Cups of Ubuntu
Most of these OS's are hobbies, and are not intending to be mainstream. Some are actually old OS's, AmigaOS for example was something I used as a kid. If it was free I'd probably be using it now.
The future in software giants hands? I don't think so, ubuntu is a perfect example of that being a wrong statement. The open source development model will become more important the larger projects get. Linux has 100's if not 1000's of people adding anything from one line to 1000's of lines of code. How long can Microsoft or Apple stay in front with their current model?
Here's a you tube video with a kernel developer, he talks about the rate of change in the Linux kernel. Very interesting.

I'm trying ReactOS, and maybe some of the Amiga-Based ones after.
