Linux distributions come and go by the dozens almost every day, and most of them live and die an unknown, irrelevant life, mostly because no, changing three icons and adding the suffix '-nix' to any random word doesn't make it different from Ubuntu. Anyway, sometimes, a new distribution is started that brings something new to the table. One such "distribution" is Glendix, which aims to combine the Linux kernel with the userpsace tools from Plan 9. Distribution is probably not the right term for this project.

Glenda, the bunny, is the Plan 9 mascot. Like Tux the penguin is for Linux:

That looks photoshopped. I can tell from the pixels, having seen quite a few in my time.

"Plan 9 from Outer Space" was a movie made by Edward D. Wood, Jr. "Glen or Glenda" is another movie by the same director. Thus - Glendix.
