Sorry to miss all of these comments, I'll clear a few up. Orange Underscore is built on Bodhi, which is in turn built on Ubuntu 10.04. I am not building this with an online thing, although I did try with SuseStudio. It is currently being built using Remastersys, which allows you to create a bootable cd from an installed Ubuntu or Debian system. I would preinstall flash, but Adobe could potentially sue me, which I don't want. Would I be allowed to preinstall Scratch? I don't know if I can do that.
Yes, you can do that. You can also pre-install the flash player, Shockwave, latest Java, etc. but not the developer's version of Flash.
On a sidenote, how do you actually compile a linux source? I've got it, but it's a bunch of C and ASM source files which I can't find a way to compile. And is it even possible to compile from a Windows OS or do you have to have a running version in VBox?

I personally don't like chrome, but it seems to be overwhelmingly popular, so I guess I'll put it in
I used to say that too before I tried it 
Now that I tried it, I love it!
And don't say "I'm different, I know I won't like it" because that's exactly what I said too

That's what my school did. 
Yawn, another boring text signature. I should really make something better.

Re: What do you want from an Operating System?
I have used Chrome extensively in windows an it's great, I just don't like it in Linux because it's buggy. I actually am using Firefox in this because Chrome wouldn't work. I have also completely restarted the development and it's now called Singularity Linux.

Why are you doing that?

Re: What do you want from an Operating System?
Several reasons. Firstly, it was really buggy and next to unuseable. Second it was ugly. Thirdly, no matter what I did, the build would always fail, thus making it impossible to distribute. Also I didn't like the direction it was going in. It is now a much more complete system.
