Surfing Internet brings sometimes interesting results.
Keywords “kosher linux” in google search brought me page from U8UNTU eLXER about Jubuntu = Ubuntu for “Jewish People”

Information from Launchpad and Jewbuntu.org both seems to be a joke.

Jewbuntu.com offers iso with a version of distro 7.10.
I installed it through VirtualBox. Actually, it turned out to be just Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop iso. So, it nothing more than a fake.

I think that would be nice to have a precompiled Linux distro with a set of programs and browser bookmarks for needs of Jewish people with certain religious needs. Hope, soon there appear some light and fast true kosher Linux OS.

Searching for Jewish-related software i had found a wonderful and really funny Role-playing game called The Shivah 2.
According to the publisher’s description:

Russell Stone works as a Jewish Rabbi at a poor synagogue in New York City. He is a devout man with a problem. Membership is way down and he lacks the funds to keep his synagogue open. Things are looking very bleak, and he has grown progressively more cynical and bitter with the passage of time.Just as he is on the verge of packing it all in, he receives some interesting news. A former member of his congregation has died and left the Rabbi a significant amount of money. A blessing Or the start of something far more sinister. Can Rabbi Stone just accept the money and move on. His conscience says no. Step into his shoes as he travels all over Manhattan in his attempt to uncover the truth. Features Rabbinical conversation methods- a never-seen-before method of fighting- a professional score- a full voicetrack – and three different endings. Only the first few scenes are available.
