I think you mean Crusty Cunt, which was Ubuntu's seminal release.

Is it a cell phone UI?

[Billly Gates]

Until all the apps are full screen only with no way to leave unless I get thrown back into a cell phone I wont be switching. I hope the apps only have 3 or 4 functions that are all hidden by default.

That would be sooo cool. I am sure if I go to a starbucks with such a gui I can get so many chicks owwing and ahhing and using my hip touch screen. Sharkwire looks so cute ... giggles.

I heard most Linux distros have spyware embedded in them. The only way to get rid of it is to compile from source, which most people don't know how / aren't willing to do. This is one of the main reasons I stick with Windows.

Seminal release? I just hope it wasn't premature on their part, that would be a dishonorable discharge.

The Dishonerable Discharge release is scheduled for 2016.
