Well, you'd be very wrong, as a dedicated Commodore following still lives on and has just produced a Linux-based operating system to give a new lease of life to Commodore systems.

According to the official blurb, 'Commodore OS Vision 3.0 is the largest, games oriented, Linux distribution ever produced, featuring 200+ free linux compatible games as well as an assortment of classic Commodore games and demos that will undoubtedly scratch your nostalgic itch.'
