Strange, Pointless, or Hilarious Linux Distros

Software & Operating Systems Linux

So, I've recently stumbled upon the "strange" bit of internet that houses weird pictures, questionable web domains, and other odd amenities. Among those, I stumbled upon a strange Linux distro. I'm relatively new to Linux, so I've not gotten to experience the strange beast that is the many, many different flavors of Linux. This, however, caught me off guard. And... It's hilarious.

I don't think anyone needs to guess its purpose, because I'm pretty sure someone did it as a joke. But that got me thinking... What other strange, pointless, or hilarious distributions have you all come across? I'm sure there's hundreds, but I wanna know what the Tek crowd has stumbled upon. I might actually try some of them out just for fun, provided they are not malicious or destructive.

So, all of those are really funny, but one of the funniest things is that the search results for "hello kitty slackware" now lists this post on the first page of results.
I actually hadn't heard of the North Korean Distro before. I could have swore I would have heard mention of it in the news or something.
Thanks for sharing!

From somewhere in the web (https://lists.debian.org/debian-women/2005/11/msg00002.html):

What is Lesbian GNU/Linux?

Lesbian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An
operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that
make your computer run. Lesbian uses the Linux kernel (the core of
an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the
GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux.

Lesbian GNU/Linux provides more than a pure OS: it comes with more
than 10000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice
format for easy installation on your machine.

Also on Ubuntu Satanic Edition About page:

I see what they did there.

I remember one that was made to teach you not to do typos on the terminal...Every time the terminal got an unknown command the OS would erase itself.

I remember when Ubuntu Satanic Edition was released. It was in response to the Christian edition. It was little more than a black and red theme with some wallpapers. It was a joke but the Christian edition wasn't having bible study software and the like. I have read that there are muslim Linux distros with religious programs, religious dates in the calendar and removal of images in the icons.

Going from memory here:
There was a distro or program to convert Linux commands to DOS commands
On the christian edition, some idiot put a visitor traffic app so you can see the location of people visiting the site. Feel bad for the one lone dot in Saudi Arabia. Jihad-bait.
