<p>it looks like a pretty cool OS, but $500k seems a little steep for developing another raspberry pi OS mashup. how do you envision that money being allocated? are there free alternatives that people will choose over this one? I like the concept of pre-packaging alot of software in an sd card image for newbies and I think generally people will be willing to pay extra for that at least until enough copies are distributed for it to be readily available as a torrent. good luck and keep us posted!</p>

<div>I developed a Linux based OS for the Allwinner A20 and Raspberry PI that has a Mac-like user interface and 3D POV gaming engine. The project also includes many open source Quake and Halflife game modifications, as well as a collection of other open source games. The purpose of this Kickstarter project is to raise funds to manufacture an A20-based board that has the same form factor and IO connections as the Raspberry PI Model B+, and will fit into a Model B+ case.</div>

<div>I am also launching a separate Kickstarter campaign with the same OS distro on a 16GB SD card for the Raspberry PI. It includes some unique software that I have developed for the RPi.</div>

<div>I would certainly appreciate any feedback you may have on this project. The marketing people working with me on this are from the entertainment industry and have some interesting connections. We don't have many backers as yet because we are doing a soft-launch and will ramp up marketing and promotion shortly.</div>

<div>Thanks!</div>
