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.

OTOH, he cannot call it Haiku if I remember correctly. Yet again, hit's not the best chosen name - especially not considering some of the (granted, very few) anti-GPL zealots one can find in the Haiku forums
- I must admit my toes curled a bit in horror from seeing the name 
However - looking at the website it's not difficult to understand why the name is GNU/Haiku.
