OS-tan theories and disscusion

[NejinOniwa]

Since you've been a good forum member, a fine conjecturist and have been willing to learn vector sketching, I'll let you in on a sneak peek of the vector sketch so far:

Wut...WUT...is that sum MOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/size][/i][/color]

[Techno the fox]

Hey everyone, Got a new avatar.
*Looks up* *loud gasp* my rank changed! I'm a NT now.
This almost makes me want to put the great NT-sama up there.

Since you've been a good forum member, a fine conjecturist and have been willing to learn vector sketching, I'll let you in on a sneak peek of the vector sketch so far:

Ooooh, Inferno-chan. Awesome work so far bella. ^_^ I'd glomp this uber-cute girl but I'm afraid she'd set me on fire.

If your talking about descendants in concept, Linux and Minix are "related" and working today. Assuming you mean direct source code descendants, then there's none other than Plan 9, Inferno, Plan B and Octopus...I dunno, but I think anything descended from System V (aka, all the modern Unixes) and BSD may also contain some original code (though I know Bell Labs made the BSD developers get rid of a lot, if not all, of their copyrighted code)...

Ahh yes, Linux and the thousands of off-versions of it. (I was really thinking about trying one of them, which do you recomend?)

As for what happened, I think I've gotten on the Goddess's nerves one too many times, and got banished to the underworld of the daemons...

Heheh. I just noticed that post you made in your thread. That image is hilarious XD. But Unix-sama might not feel the same as I do about it.

All those people around her are corrupting her, huh?

Yeah, while there are quite alot of intelligent people at Fchan there are a small number people whom are like a Furry variant of /b/-tards.

[C-Chan]

Don't mind me, just marking my territory.  ^___^

*starts peeling off rainchecks*

*start typing too*

Added after 1 hours 10 minutes:

Nice job! I really like how you worked in the references to PlanB's logo...
Moreover, can't believe you found info on PlanB! I couldn't find anything...I must suck at teh internets XD

I didn't realize you didn't know about that little website.  I thought you meant you didn't find OTHER articles on Plan B-tan.  ^_____^;

*sets C-Chan up with VMS-sama*

C'mon, buddy, she's a good 5' 10, 11'!

*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*

That's better I guess, but still,.... it's like going from tuna to albacore, but still not quite there to the caviar.  -___-

.......

Plus VMS-sama always struck me as a 5'8" or 9".....  

*reads carefully*

Oh wait,... you use the apostrophe sign for feet, no?

Then that means...

SHE'S 11 feet tall?!!!!!!!!!  @v@
Well now, why didn'a ya say so?!!  Forget the caviar, that's like having the whole Beluga!  ^__________^

Excuse me, I thought we were talking about WAITS-tan. Yeah, I know ITS-tan is still around...

Aa sou.... ^__^

WAITS-tan being alive is a big 'if', although we might have agreed she is if we made that whole PCLOS Gnu Ranch joke.  ^__^

And yes, ITS-tan would be....an aunt to her, I believe

There you go!  UNIX-sama is a nice niece after all!  ^v^

......

...or a more sinister explanation is that she just wants to pay to keep her quiet.  She'd know to many secrets, after all.  ^.^

Ooooh, she sounds interesting!

And yeah, I do see just a bit of resemblance

Funny how a combination of Sakura Kinomoto and Miyu Yamazaki could result in an Anime character design similar to half a dozen other Anime characters.  Eclair notwithstanding.  ^___^

But yes, Mama Amiga would have to look a little like that.
FYI, she's hardly the best mother in the world (and that's saying a lot with UNIX-sama in our midst), but I believe she shapes up a bit now that there are grandkids present.

And I'd put that medal on if I wasn't still a ghost T__T

Oh, I can soak it in ectoplasm if you'd like.  ^.^

I'm still trying to figure out how on earth Linux-sama and Minix-sensei fell in with them o__O

Well technically they haven't.  ^^;

*ducks from chair being tossed in latest Linux-Unix.... "disagreement"/brawl*

But you know,... as the old saying goes,.... "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."  ^____^

Why keep fighting amongst family when you COULD bind together to grow stronger and vanquish common foes.  ^.^

....

*gets crushed by flying cabinet that missed its mark*

But yes, I now think that Plan 9-san, while being perhaps the most like Unix-sama from a "genetic" POV, is actually the least like her in mindset.

Don't think, though, that this means she won't have you dancing around a metal pole on Christmas eve.  I mean, she probably wouldn't,... but undoubtedly her celebration would take on a characteristcally "Nightmare Before Christmas" feel to them.  ^^;

.....

Mixed with a dash of Ed Wood....  ^____^;

...........

..................

........................

Pull the strings!!  PULL THE STRINGS!!!!  ^0^

Hmmmm....I may just have to add her to my Plan 9/Inferno-chan drawing! I'll probably take cues from both your and Aurora's design...

And, after hearing what Aurora said about her looks, I can see where she'd be similar to that pic you posted...

Kewl.  ^.^

Actually,... in the emerging spirit of FOSA,... would you like me to help you add the rest of the gang to the picture?
If you're already drawing half the UserSpace Gang,... might as well add the BSD crew too.  ^.^

.....

And all the "pets".....  ^________^'

Ooooh, I've come up with a preconcept for XINU! Somehow I see her as dressing quite modern and elegant, but with a Native American twist, as the XINU logo looks like a Navajo rug:

I think she'd have long dark hair, tied into two ponytails and bound in some kind of ribbon or cord (like the traditional hairstyles worn by some Native Americans). And yeah, talking backwards could add a bit of quirk to her

RED RUM! RED RUM! Aaahhaahhawb!

Okay!  Now we're cookin' with FIYA!!!  ^v^

I'd love to see a softer, gentler UNIX-sama clone,... thingie.... ^________^

I haven't been this excited at the prospect of a UNIX-sama clone since realizing that C-One-tan's power COULD allow her to morph into the goddess as well.  ^v^

And speaking of new characters, did you know there's another Plan9 based OS? Octopus! All wikipedia says is that it's a "a new approach to Plan B"...

Hmmm...a clone of a clone....

And with tentacles to boot O_________O just kidding, just kidding!

HOLY HELL!!!!  I didn't know about the existence of Octopus either!!!!!!!  @_______@

Certainly the premise blows my mind, but I can kinda see where her origin might derive from.  ^___^'

Out of temporary curiosity (and a closet megalomania acquired after being around 9-sama for too long), B-chan might've broke into 9-sama's lab one night and tried to create a clone of herself.  Lacking the finer subtleties of 9-sama's inherent skills and years of experience, she ended up producing something approximating an abomination.  But being a cute abomination, and not having the heart to get rid ofher, she just decided to let her be.  The fact that she'd get along well with Inferno-chan and the BSDs -- couple with 9-sama not yet realizing where the octopus girl came from -- more than cements her place in the UserSpace scheme of things.  ^___^

Whatcha think?  Farfetched or no?  ^^

Umm, erm, I may look like a complete idiot for saying this but..
Are there any decendents of the original Unix that are still supported today? I mean Unix-based OSes that aren't obsolete as of 2008?

Bella-sama answered this, but you know you can also find TONS of nice, pretty UNIX descendants in your local Apple Store.  ^.^
Leopard-sama, in fact, is UNIX compliant.  ^___^

Speaking of wich, C-chan I thought I saw FreeBSD-chan eat you.
How did you....?
.
.
...*thinks*...
.
Never mind, I don't want to know.

*eye lid starts twitching*

*shudders*

*tosses shower utensils away from view*

Yeah,.... personally d00d,............................ there are some things you're better off not knowing.  ^^;

A Plan-9 Clone.....With tentacles?

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?!?!
Heheh, Jk I'd love to see a -tan of this OS too.

Second that.  ^_______^

Since you've been a good forum member, a fine conjecturist and have been willing to learn vector sketching, I'll let you in on a sneak peek of the vector sketch so far:

I know C-Chan wanted longer hair on her, and I wanted shorter, so I compromised

*squeals*  ^___^

Is this teenage Inferno-chan?  I think she definitely has the clothing nailed right, and I could definitely go for the long bangs (something she probably copied off FreeBSD-oneesan).  I think for maximum impact, though, multi-colored hair would work wonders (or at least some fiery highlights).  ^^
Try her without the glasses too -- the more youthful energy she exhibits, the better.  ^__^

Well, I don't think she'll have tentacles...maybe just really long hair

But then that'd make her too much like OS/2-sama.  ;___;

*sniffles*

[whining and fussing]  No!  She must have tentacles of some sort!!  Maybe say as a replacement for a skirt?  ^^

Speaking of scary-M$-made-things, have any of yous seen the Zune ad? All I can thing is...someone in marketing needs to be fired. Seriously.

I recall now Aurora-sama's cute Turd-Colored Zune-tan.  ^___^

Hey everyone, Got a new avatar.
*Looks up* *loud gasp* my rank changed! I'm a NT now.
This almost makes me want to put the great NT-sama up there.

The virus kid suits you, though.  Admittedly, though, I've always said that Firefox-ko is the best one for you. ^___^

Ahh yes, Linux and the thousands of off-versions of it. (I was really thinking about trying one of them, which do you recomend?)

PClinuxOS
Ubuntu
Mandriva
Linux Mint
gOS 2.0
MEPIS
Sidux
DreamLinux
Elive

I mean, i could go on all night, so just pick and choose.... ^.^

http://distrowatch.com/

I'd recommend inside Virtualbox first (why waste CDs?).

[Aurora Borealis]

Here is Octopus-tan, with real tentacle goodness!

[C-Chan]

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!  
AURORA-HIME, YOU'RE A GENIUS!!!!!!!!  ^V^

I though I saw it all with giraffe girls, but now.... OMG!!!!

You've succeeding in making an octopus girl moe!!!!  

I shall prostrate myself before your greatness!!!!!!!!  ^v^

*grovels before Aurora*

Course now the UserSpace Gang is officially a zoo.  ^___^;

Plan 9 = bunny
Plan B = fish
Octopus = octopus (duh!)
OpenBSD = pufferfish
DragonflyBSD = guess  ^___^'

Added after 1 minutes:

BTW, did you read my premise?  I think it + your design fit like a glove.  ^__^

[Siya]

That's an awesome Octopus-tan, Aurora!  I like her little, angry self.

DragonflyBSD = guess ^___^'

Oooh!  Oooh!  A lemur!

[Bella]

Hey everyone, Got a new avatar.
*Looks up* *loud gasp* my rank changed! I'm a NT now.
This almost makes me want to put the great NT-sama up there.

We demand NT-sama!!!!

Ooooh, Inferno-chan. Awesome work so far bella.  I'd glomp this uber-cute girl but I'm afraid she'd set me on fire.

Thanks!

Ahh yes, Linux and the thousands of off-versions of it. (I was really thinking about trying one of them, which do you recomend?)

Ubuntu (or one of the other 'buntus)! It's very polished and has lots of features, and is very user friendly.
If you want to go for something a little more exotic but still user friendly, then maybe SAM Linux or PCLOS....

And I concur with C-Chan, if you've got enough RAM, try it out on VirtualBox. Then you can mess around as much as you want without effecting your computer.

Heheh. I just noticed that post you made in your thread. That image is hilarious XD

Yeah, I dunno where the "inspirational poster" theme came from, but it seemed to fit

SHE'S 11 feet tall?!!!!!!!!! @v@
Well now, why didn'a ya say so?!! Forget the caviar, that's like having the whole Beluga! ^__________^

Dream on buddy T__T

Maybe I have a skewed view on what's "tall"....everyone my age I'm around is like...a head shorter than me, even though I'm not that tall O___o

Aa sou.... ^__^

WAITS-tan being alive is a big 'if', although we might have agreed she is if we made that whole PCLOS Gnu Ranch joke. ^__^

Hmmm...yeah, sadly, I believe I heard WAITS was shut down in 1998...

There you go! UNIX-sama is a nice niece after all! ^v^

......

...or a more sinister explanation is that she just wants to pay to keep her quiet. She'd know to many secrets, after all. ^.^

Ahaha! That's why she'd funding the Vintage-tans! It's "hush money"...

*...And things take another mafia turn...*

*holds back from making Unix/New Jersey joke*

*Unix/New Jersey joke averted! Mission accomplished!*

But yes, Mama Amiga would have to look a little like that.
FYI, she's hardly the best mother in the world (and that's saying a lot with UNIX-sama in our midst), but I believe she shapes up a bit now that there are grandkids present.

Oh man, yesterday I happened to wonder for a moment what growing up with Unix-sama as a mother would have been like for Plan 9-chan (and BSD-chan, maybe)...what a bizarre ordeal that would have been O____O

I guess VMS-sama would have been quite normal, had she actually had a daughter in the traditional sense...

Like...the only normal mother in all of OS-tandom is NT-san.

Well technically they haven't. ^^;

*ducks from chair being tossed in latest Linux-Unix.... "disagreement"/brawl*

But you know,... as the old saying goes,.... "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." ^____^

Why keep fighting amongst family when you COULD bind together to grow stronger and vanquish common foes. ^.^

....

*gets crushed by flying cabinet that missed its mark*

Well, if you think about it, Linux is used/marketed by a lot of big companies alongside traditional Unix OSs. So I guess it wouldn't be too far fetched that Linux-sama and some Unixes have learned to work together and yes, maybe even like each other, in some way...

It's only troublemakers like SCO-chan who instigate disputes -___-

*ducks flying crutch coming from SCO-chan*

Kewl. ^.^

Actually,... in the emerging spirit of FOSA,... would you like me to help you add the rest of the gang to the picture?
If you're already drawing half the UserSpace Gang,... might as well add the BSD crew too. ^.^

.....

And all the "pets"..... ^________^'

Sure!

Only if you aren't super-busy with a ton of other projects

Okay! Now we're cookin' with FIYA!!! ^v^

I'd love to see a softer, gentler UNIX-sama clone,... thingie.... ^________^

So you like my ideas?

Or, in XINU speak...saedi ym ekil uoy os?

I haven't been this excited at the prospect of a UNIX-sama clone since realizing that C-One-tan's power COULD allow her to morph into the goddess as well. ^v^

Hmmm...C-One can emulate any OS though ROM or something, right?

HOLY HELL!!!! I didn't know about the existence of Octopus either!!!!!!! @_______@

Certainly the premise blows my mind, but I can kinda see where her origin might derive from. ^___^'

Out of temporary curiosity (and a closet megalomania acquired after being around 9-sama for too long), B-chan might've broke into 9-sama's lab one night and tried to create a clone of herself.

Whatcha think? Farfetched or no? ^^

It's a bit late to talk about far fetched

But that sounds about right

Bella-sama answered this, but you know you can also find TONS of nice, pretty UNIX descendants in your local Apple Store. ^.^
Leopard-sama, in fact, is UNIX compliant. ^___^

Ah, the OS Xs, the hot, famous, superstars of the *nix family...

And yeah, I did read Leopard is certified under the Single UNIX Specification.

*thinks about Leopard-chan...*

I can tell you this girl's probably had a few books thrown at her, if ya catch my drift

*squeals* ^___^

Is this teenage Inferno-chan? I think she definitely has the clothing nailed right, and I could definitely go for the long bangs (something she probably copied off FreeBSD-oneesan). I think for maximum impact, though, multi-colored hair would work wonders (or at least some fiery highlights). ^^
Try her without the glasses too -- the more youthful energy she exhibits, the better. ^__^

Well, I was thinking she's more on the preteen side...

I also assure you I'm adamant on the hairdo, and love the glasses. I like my meganes, it can't be helped

But I will probably give her some highlights, maybe bright red or yellow...

Here is Octopus-tan, with real tentacle goodness!

Cute!

Though I have to say I wouldn't want to get her angry O_____o

Course now the UserSpace Gang is officially a zoo. ^___^;

Plan 9 = bunny
Plan B = fish
Octopus = octopus (duh!)
OpenBSD = pufferfish
DragonflyBSD = guess ^___^'

So, I suppose FreeBSD-chan is a pig, and Inferno-chan...a fire breathing dragon?

[Siya]

Also, would OliveBSD have any chance for fitting into the zoo?  

How close of a relation is MidnightBSD?  I've been playing with concepts for her, too.

[C-Chan]

Oooh! Oooh! A lemur!

*FLOPS!!*  >V<

Maybe I have a skewed view on what's "tall"....everyone my age I'm around is like...a head shorter than me, even though I'm not that tall O___o

Oh dear gawds....

Does your town ban rBGH-laced milk or something?  ^________^;
(j/k! j/k! -- probably better if they do, anyway)

Hmmm...yeah, sadly, I believe I heard WAITS was shut down in 1998...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!  ^0^

*C-chan slumps*

My Gnu ranch idea..... ;X___x;

*sniffles*

*C-chan turns to dust and scatters in the wind*

Oh man, yesterday I happened to wonder for a moment what growing up with Unix-sama as a mother would have been like for Plan 9-chan (and BSD-chan, maybe)...what a bizarre ordeal that would have been O____O

I guess VMS-sama would have been quite normal, had she actually had a daughter in the traditional sense...

Like...the only normal mother in all of OS-tandom is NT-san.

Now now,... Mama DOS is pretty norm--...... oh wait, no.....  ^.^
I'm sure Rhapsody-san is.......... oh wait, drinking problem.....  ^___^'
Plan 9-san all but WORSHIPS Inferno-chan.......... oh wait, that could be misinterpreted....  -v-;
Wait, Apple I-san all but warrants a Mother's Day all for herse--............. oh wait,... I forgot.... the whole dead thing.  ^_______________________^;


There is actually a Mama BSD too, but.......... I don't think...... naaah,... never mind.....  -v-'

Well, if you think about it, Linux is used/marketed by a lot of big companies alongside traditional Unix OSs. So I guess it wouldn't be too far fetched that Linux-sama and some Unixes have learned to work together and yes, maybe even like each other, in some way...

A big "maybe"

It's only troublemakers like SCO-chan who instigate disputes -___-

*ducks flying crutch coming from SCO-chan*

Well,... that's being too kind to the likes of Solaris-sama.  ^^;

*gets stepped on by a vengeful Solaris-tan*

Sure!

Only if you aren't super-busy with a ton of other projects

Even if I am, HELL!!  Let's go for it!!!  ^V^

Just let me get Operation Bella Boost complete, and I'm all yours.  ^.^

So you like my ideas?

Or, in XINU speak...saedi ym ekil uoy os?

Naaaaaaaaaaaah,... Bella-san never has anything good to say!  Let's all collectively ignore her this minute.  ^.^

Hmmm...C-One can emulate any OS though ROM or something, right?

She's....................... not........ supposed....... to.

But PTSDOS-tan messed around with her while C64-tan wasn't looking, and inadvertently gave her a lot of interesting new abilities.

She's only able to emulate another OS-tan at a maximum of 75% of their original power (and besides, it's not a perfect mimicry either, since C-One's emulated OS-tan will still have blue hair and dead green eyes).  

Still,... even if an Emulated 95-tan could never defeat the original,... an emulated UNIX-sama is MORE than a match for just about anyone short of the original.  ^v^'

....

Just as long as she works properly, of course....  ^___^;

I can tell you this girl's probably had a few books thrown at her, if ya catch my drift

I'd say more like an entire library's worth.  ^__________________^;

Well, I was thinking she's more on the preteen side...

I also assure you I'm adamant on the hairdo, and love the glasses. I like my meganes, it can't be helped

But I will probably give her some highlights, maybe bright red or yellow...

How about bright red AND yellow.  If it looks good, I'll trade that for the glasses.  ^___^

So, I suppose FreeBSD-chan is a pig, and Inferno-chan...a fire breathing dragon?

*squeals at thought of being with FreeBSD-tan*  ^.^

....

*then shudders at recollection of stomach incident*  @____@'

Oh, and NetBSD-tan would be,................. a toaster?  ^^;

Also, would OliveBSD have any chance for fitting into the zoo?

How close of a relation is MidnightBSD? I've been playing with concepts for her, too.

Well you do have to leave some BSD-tans out in the real world, too.  ^.^
Some of them, like DesktopBSD-tan, have chosen to mingle with the Linux crowd, while the more old-school minded (like Mama BSD-tan) hang around with the old bloodline.  ^___^'

Course, you created OliveBSD-tan, so you let us know with whom the young gal would love to hang out with!  ^____^

For sure, Damn Small BSD-tan is OBLIGED to join her Linux cohorts.  ^.^

[Bella]

How close of a relation is MidnightBSD? I've been playing with concepts for her, too.

According to wikipedia, MidnightBSD uses a NeXTSTEP UI; the logo appears to be a panther or some sort of big cat:



So somehow I think she'd dress quite darkly and perhaps have a darker skintone, black hair, and light eyes. If you want to go all out, she may even be a cat-girl....

Oh dear gawds....

Does your town ban rBGH-laced milk or something? ^________^;
(j/k! j/k! -- probably better if they do, anyway)

I dunno  ;013

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! ^0^

See, I told you NT-san's the only good mama...except for the whole, vicious conquering of the server market

A big "maybe"

Even if I am, HELL!! Let's go for it!!! ^V^

Just let me get Operation Bella Boost complete, and I'm all yours. ^.^

Oh, so she doesn't just shape-shift? She can also mimic powers and abilities?

I'd say more like an entire library's worth. ^__________________^;

LOL!

How about bright red AND yellow. If it looks good, I'll trade that for the glasses. ^___^

That's a deal!

Consorting with the enemy, eh?

BTW, would this "mama BSD" you speak of represent the original Berkley Software Distribution?

Oh yeah, and I just was reading about BSD...I never knew it was so influential...
I mean, (the original) BSD has had influence on Solaris and other commercial Unixes, 4.3BSD was called one of the greatest pieces of software ever written. Some of the legal troubles the BSD developers got into also opened the door to more acceptance of Linux-based OSs; but I read if 386BSD, a free BSD OS, had been available (legally), Linux may have never even been created O___O

Now think, for a moment, about what fine sappy material that could make for in an OS-tan context

(but I do feel like another piece of the Linux/BSD fanboy rivalry is explained)

[C-Chan]

So somehow I think she'd dress quite darkly and perhaps have a darker skintone, black hair, and light eyes. If you want to go all out, she may even be a cat-girl....

oooh,... think about it another way,... she'd literally be a cousin of the OSX catgirls!  ^.^
(Panther-sama, more likely)

Oh, so she doesn't just shape-shift? She can also mimic powers and abilities?

And speech too.  ^___^
Trust me, it'd be funny as hell watching a UNIX-sama that acts like her normal (minus the conscious knowledge that she's not the real thing), but looks kinda like this:



I suppose I'm overdue to draw a real C-One one of these days.  -v-;

That's a deal!

*shakes hand*

Hoof, you mean.  ^^'

As if we needed another reminder of Bella-sama's razor-sharp perception.  ^^

Yep, she would be one of the more influential "Old Guard" Unices around (a "general' so to speak, if you want to compare the *Nix family to viruses).  ^^'

She would definitely be a lot more flexible than her other sisters of that era, but compared to her descendants and the Linuces, her ideology definitely shows some antiquity.  And like the Unices of Old,... she's also a bit of a nut.  ^_____^;

But while she admires UNIX-sama, she also resents her somewhat for creating the kind of austere environment that would inevitably chase away half her children.  Indeed, while she doesn't yearn for sap, she creates a lot more of it than she realizes.  ^^;

[Siya]

According to wikipedia, MidnightBSD uses a NeXTSTEP UI; the logo appears to be a panther or some sort of big cat:

She also has a butterfly logo.

and a logo that looks somewhat like a black cat with a red bow/horns.


I was thinking of giving her a somewhat "lady of the night" cat-girl look, making the butterfly a strong clothing element.  I like the suggestion of the dark skin.  I'll need to condense my sketches into something a little more concrete.

[Bella]

oooh,... think about it another way,... she'd literally be a cousin of the OSX catgirls! ^.^

Exactly what I was thinking

But while she admires UNIX-sama, she also resents her somewhat for creating the kind of austere environment that would inevitably chase away half her children. Indeed, while she doesn't yearn for sap, she creates a lot more of it than she realizes. ^^;

Ah, inadvertent sap, is there any other kind?

So, would she be...like...Plan 9-san's full sister or something like that? Assuming BSD-san still contained all that copyrighted source code, that is

And am I wrong for envisioning her with red hair...?[/quote]

She also has a butterfly logo.

and a logo that looks somewhat like a black cat with a red bow/horns.

*Envisions combination cat/daemon/butterfly-girl*

*passes out*

Too many spices ruin the stew!

Maybe it'd be safer to make her a catgirl with red bows as you suggested...a catgirl with butterfly wings is an...interesting thought...but I know if anyone can pull it off with style and elegance, it's you!

I was thinking of giving her a somewhat "lady of the night" cat-girl look, making the butterfly a strong clothing element. I like the suggestion of the dark skin. I'll need to condense my sketches into something a little more concrete.

*thinks about Catwoman from the movie a few years back*

Can't wait to see her!

I second the veritable hodge-podge of themes.  It's like someone grabbed Panther-sama, AROS-chan and MOS-chan, and rolled them up into a BSD abomination.

*starts imagining outcome*

....

*brains melts*  X________x

Funny, yes, but not funny for the poor impostor C-One when the real Unix-sama finds out what she's up to O_____O

Actually,......... she more than knows about her.  ^___^
Perhaps its because C-One is only a machine and thus very "pure", but UNIX-sama is fond of her and occasionally "borrows" her even.  For what purposes, one can only wonder,... but with the right kind of contact lenses and some dark purple hair dye, you could theoretically end up with one very convincing decoy.  

So, would she be...like...Plan 9-san's full sister or something like that? Assuming BSD-san still contained all that copyrighted source code, that is

yep, an older sister.

And am I wrong for envisioning her with red hair...?

Mmmmmm.... tough call actually.

Problem is,... there may be a BSD-tan out there already and it has blue hair.  DOn't recall at the moment where, but Alfamille showed her to me once and the page may be accessible at the Wiki links (can't check out from my location).

Admittedly, the designed seemed far to juvenile for someone of her calibre, so I wouldn't mind a new take.  -.-

Amen to that.  Siya-san is one resourceful fellow -- but then again, he has Marc to help out so no fair.  

*C-chan wishes he too would had an M-chan surgically-fused to him, in order to help with brainstorming*

[Techno the fox]

Out of temporary curiosity (and a closet megalomania acquired after being around 9-sama for too long), B-chan might've broke into 9-sama's lab one night and tried to create a clone of herself. Lacking the finer subtleties of 9-sama's inherent skills and years of experience, she ended up producing something approximating an abomination. But being a cute abomination, and not having the heart to get rid ofher, she just decided to let her be. The fact that she'd get along well with Inferno-chan and the BSDs -- couple with 9-sama not yet realizing where the octopus girl came from -- more than cements her place in the UserSpace scheme of things. ^___^

Awww, what a heart warming moment. (Well, sort of..)

The virus kid suits you, though. Admittedly, though, I've always said that Firefox-ko is the best one for you. ^___^

Yeah, but pretty soon I'm going to make a wiki style avatar of Fchan-tan.
Then that's going up there and staying for a while.

I'd recommend inside Virtualbox first (why waste CDs?).

Hmmm, I think I'll try.......PCLinuxOS! ^_^
Didn't someone somewhere make a -tan of her?

Here is Octopus-tan, with real tentacle goodness!

Oooooooh! She's pretty. I just hope that her and Effie never get together. That could be a dangerous thing..

Now now,... Mama DOS is pretty norm--...... oh wait, no..... ^.^
I'm sure Rhapsody-san is.......... oh wait, drinking problem..... ^___^'
Plan 9-san all but WORSHIPS Inferno-chan.......... oh wait, that could be misinterpreted.... -v-;
Wait, Apple I-san all but warrants a Mother's Day all for herse--............. oh wait,... I forgot.... the whole dead thing. ^_______________________^;


There is actually a Mama BSD too, but.......... I don't think...... naaah,... never mind..... -v-'

Well, Apple I-tan may be dead....but for how long? I know a certain Bunny girl who could do something about that......Fufufufu.

She's....................... not........ supposed....... to.

But PTSDOS-tan messed around with her while C64-tan wasn't looking, and inadvertently gave her a lot of interesting new abilities.

She's only able to emulate another OS-tan at a maximum of 75% of their original power (and besides, it's not a perfect mimicry either, since C-One's emulated OS-tan will still have blue hair and dead green eyes).

Still,... even if an Emulated 95-tan could never defeat the original,... an emulated UNIX-sama is MORE than a match for just about anyone short of the original. ^v^'

....

Just as long as she works properly, of course.... ^___^;

Hmmm, I wonder if she can emulate Effie.

How close of a relation is MidnightBSD? I've been playing with concepts for her, too.

So somehow I think she'd dress quite darkly and perhaps have a darker skintone, black hair, and light eyes. If you want to go all out, she may even be a cat-girl....

oooh,... think about it another way,... she'd literally be a cousin of the OSX catgirls! ^.^
(Panther-sama, more likely)

I'm all for this Catgirl Idea, a bit of a way to show the relation between the BSDs and the OSX 10s.
