$100 is a reasonable price to install Debian. But selling it later may prove tricky.

Actually not. As far as I know you can sell e.g. burned CDs. That should be legaly ok. (As far as the Software is GPL licensed)

How can anyone say we're in a recession with job offers like this?

HarrixOS!

It's an old troll: http://www.getacoder.com/projects/need_operating_system_4287...

Wasn't the one submitted to HN requiring a mere $100? Imagine that!? :) How nice of them to lower the prices they were going to pay the developer...

The best part is the ad for a book called "Successful Outsourcing" that I see on the page.

Old joke is old.

Agreed - just as a sample, here is another one posted a while ago (Jan. 2007) - http://www.getacoder.com/projects/need_operating_system_4287...

His way of finding a business oppurtunity seems to be simple: Just find what everyone's using and build (or get built) another one like that to try and make a quick buck. These guys often dream of becoming billionaires with this idea. I confess that I too had such ideas when I was 14 (4 yrs ago).

He never seems to think why people need another OS or as he says an 'Operasting System'.

Some dude in India took the project and now is trying to get someone to get the job done.

Priceless! ...well, actually, $100...

holy smokes!!! $20-$100 for a new OS, with clear edges? does he mean shell themes?

I will take it!

send him ubuntu hardy 8.04LTS for free

I think you mean Lindows. Erm, Linspire. Meh, whatever, just get his $100. ;-)
