Bernd Korz at it again: meet Zebuntu

Bernd Korz, founder of the now defunct Yellow Tab, has kept a low public profile since the failure of his BeOS based Zeta Operating System. In his personal blog, he has expressed interest in Linux, and specifically, Ubuntu, for a few months now.Although it seemed he'd given up on his dream to bring a BeOS based OS to the masses, he has jumped back into the spotlight. Or, at least, he's been dragged back in by overzealous bloggers. He is now leading a project called "Zebuntu", which is planned as a hybrid of Ubuntu and Zeta.
In its current state, Zebuntu is little more than a Zeta themed Xubuntu derivative. However, the developer team is making tangible progress in making the system more speedy and useful. We hope that their plans to incorporate B.E.OS code for BeOS compatibility pan out, for the sheer novelty if nothing else.
We can't help but wonder what he's thinking with this new OS. We'd love to ask him, but he recently turned down an interview, saying that he's sick of internet users picking on him and threatening his family. The developer blog is pretty active so far however, so we can look forward to plenty of news from them in the future.

That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
