I was expecting a democratically run Linux distro or some kind of framework for democratically pulling open source software. Its more confusing than infuriating. Mainly because the term os makes sense only to people like me, but doesn't match what up with what people like me know it as. The OS part of the name doesn't help anything. I'm guessing its only there so you could have the name in the URL.
