Ubuntu Satanic Edition 10.04 (Lucifer’s Legion)
Hardware Requirements & Installation
Hardware Requirements
The hardware requirements are the same as generic Ubuntu:
700 MHz x86 processor
256 MB RAM
3 GB disk space
Graphics card capable of 1024 x 768 resolution
Sound card
Network or Internet connection
Installation
The Ubuntu Satanic Edition 10.04 .iso file is about 731MB. This distro is a Live CD version, so you can actually just boot into it to test it rather than installing it on your hard disk. For this review, I installed it. If you’re already running Ubuntu and want to install it on your existing system, follow these instructions.
It uses the usual Ubuntu installer, which means it’s very easy and fast to install. Once the install begins, you’ll see the same slideshow that you see during the regular Ubuntu installation. I’m always glad to see that included since it does help provide useful information to Ubuntu newbies (even satanic newbies).
Next, I’ll look at the bootsplash and login screens, and I’ll cover what the desktop has to offer.

Well, I guess that I’ll have to be the “Goody Two Shoes” in the bunch. I’ve already tested multiple variations of the Ubuntu 10.04 series. All along during the development, I closely monitored the Kubuntu developments, mainly because I am interested in the track that KDE has been taking, and the test releases of Kubuntu, Mandriva Cooker, and OpenSUSE, track the KDE progress better than most others (unless you want to track them with Arch, Gentoo, or Linux from Scratch).
Though Jim is not a fan of Kubuntu, I find the Kpackagekit and the mostly generic implementation of KDE to be what I want, because I want to be able to evaluate a mostly unaltered implementation and compare it to the customized versions. Kubuntu, during the relatively rocky recent history of the KDE project, has provided a reasonable, usable platform, though it has certainly faithfully shared the KDE 4 defects, and both the good and the bad.
Based on testing, not only Kubuntu, but also Xubuntu, Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Peppermint, and Mint, all of which use the Ubuntu repositories, I am confident that this release would have functional similarities to the others. The differences would be more in visual appearance and the choice of tools. Given that I have no particular urge to view or hear anything beyond what I’ve already seen or heard, I will pass on downloading this one. I will say, however, that based on what I’ve already tested, those who may be interested in this will, more than likely, find a very easy to install, reliable to use system.
Of course you’ll write about it in the future as well. You hope it’s controversial.
But, I have to admit it, this satanic crap – and it’s neither a religion nor spirituality, btw – evens out nicely all that mushy Nelson-Mandela crap from the original Ubuntu.
God I hate extremism(s).
And no, of course I won’t download it and try it. Ubuntu Loudmouth Lemming is bad enough. No more Ubuntu!
What is so special about the Satanic Edition that you accord it the status of a separate distro? All it is is Ubuntu with some Goth eye candy. There is NO special Satanic software to distinguish it from the run-of-the-mill Ubuntu. At least the Christian Edition has some Bible related software.
BTW – what’s with the Anti-AdBlock popup at the end of your review???
> God I hate extremism(s).
Hate is an extreme.
Perhaps you meant “God I dislike extremism(s).”
Love and hate are both extremes. In the middle? Apathy.
On-topic though, I find the satanic edition creative and rather tongue-in-cheek. Which is nice. I still just run regular brown/purple Ubuntu myself though.
Cheers.
IMHO, it’s so stupid, as same Linux distribution can be…
If it was really a satanic distribution it would have an EULA copied from Windows.
