As Specialized A Linux Distro As You're Likely to Find
You want proof there's a Linux distribution for absolutely every possible application? Here's one for you: Hikarunix, a distro dedicated to Go players and based on the ever-versatile Damn Small Linux (DSL).
Go, in this case, is not the very funny 1999 movie, but the Asian strategy game. It's vaguely similar to checkers or Othello, over 4,000 years old, and is said to be a whole order of magnitude more difficult than chess.
Hikarunix is a great example of how a whole Linux distribution can be packaged and presented as a kind of mega-application -- one that doesn't need to be installed per se since you can run it as virtual machine in Virtual PC, VMware or VirtualBox.
