Interesting. Christian-centric versions of Linux.
Ubuntu: Christian Edition (not officially supported by Canonical):
The goal of Ubuntu Christian Edition is to bring the power and security of Ubuntu to Christians. Ubuntu Christian Edition is suitable for both desktop and server use. The current Ubuntu release supports PC (Intel x86).
Ichthux (based off of KUbuntu):
Ichthux is an operating system aimed at Christian users. It is based on Kubuntu in order to provide the best desktop environment of the moment, together with Christian programs and settings. For a brief graphical tour of Ichthux, check out some screenshots.
It’s nothing that you can’t install yourself without these two “distros”*, but I’m sure there’s people out there that’d like them. The parental controls pre-installed and offered by Ubuntu: Christian Edition would be good for families and parents unfamiliar with computers. Again, though, it’s nothing you can’t get yourself.
We’ll see how they do.

Jesus is my IT helpdesk guy, and the King James Bible my PDA.
So, quick answer: which distro would you recommend?
Personally, I use just regular old ubuntu from http://www.ubuntulinux.org. If I had to chosse between Ubuntu: Christian Edition and Ichthux? I’d probably go for Christian Edition because it appears to offer more stuff.
um … ok … um … why?
