            Just gave it a quick spin. I used a grub.cfg like this so you could just pop the .iso on / and reboot and use it from the GRUB menu without burning the .iso or dd'ing it to a partition.

            Code:
            set rblack=/RebeccaBlackLinux_i386.iso
            menuentry 'Rebecca Black Linux' {
            	loopback	loop	$rblack
            	linux	(loop)/casper/vmlinuz iso-scan/filename=${rblack} boot=casper noeject noprompt quiet splash
            	initrd	(loop)/casper/initrd.gz
            }
            Quick impressions:
            • Thank god no recognizable artwork included
            • Modified KUbuntu disk (KDE is nice...) anyway...
            • Seems to work nice, many demo's included
            • No NetworkManager (browsing!)
            • Looks stable (did not crash in 5 minutes testing)
            • Drop down menu's do drop down, but now where you expect them to drop-down (hehe)
            • beccaholic ?


            If this is being done with just a small fraction of the codesize compared to X, just wow.

              There should be a networkmanager, but you have to start it manually. It should be in the panel at the top, as the wifi icon next to the speaker icon.

                I had never heard about this Rebecca black before phoronix wrote about this "fan" distro with wayland?
                Is it really a real "fan distro" or part of some sort of strange viral marketing stunt?

                    No more reliance on X? Well, that just put a whole new meaning to X Free 86
