[edit] History

Originally it began as a project to create an entire Ubuntu-based furry-oriented Linux distribution, but was instead narrowed down to creating a furry-based theme for Ubuntu^[1]; furthermore, Furbuntu was repositioned as a subproject of CreatureS, or CreatureSystems, which is deemed as a genre of desktop operating systems tailored to the furry fandom and subculture.

First Place winner of the Furbuntu Contest, by DavidStrife

To this end, Theyain held a USD$250 contest for wallpapers, icons and music to be packaged into the Furbuntu theme^[2]; the contest ended on March 17, and the winners were announced on May 15^[3]. As a requirement to enter the contest, all works were put under a Creative Commons license.

[edit] Current State

As of right now the project is currently in hiatus due to problems that have occurred in both XCxeon's and Theyain's life. It is expected that development will resume by mid October and that either just the Furbuntu Skin or an Alpha release of CreatureS will be out by then.
