Haiku has its first distribution, but it's not coming from the Haiku development team. Pingwinek has just released GNU/Haiku 0.1.0, what is claimed to be (probably?) the first distribution of the Haiku operating system, coming from Poland. According to the Pingwinek home page, GNU/Haiku consists of the base Haiku system plus 40 packages ported from the Pingwinek GNU/Linux distribution, and it includes the GCC 2.95.3 compiler, several simple games, SDL, Midnight Commander, and ncurses. GNU/Haiku can be run from a HDD, in QEMU and VMWare or as a Live CD. Screenshots are available, and the images can be download from this page.

I'm a little disappointed in this "first distro" - I think it's slightly in bad taste, but I'll reserve my judgment as this is really just my opinion.
I thought exactly the same the moment i read the news and saw first screenshots.
Not only it's IMHO too early, but also putting GNU in the name and Penguin as logo/wallpaper is... well... not what i'd like to see.
BTW "Pingwinek" means "Small penguin" in Polish language, so it can have double meaning (one which is kinda offensive).
