So he gathered and financed a group of developers to work on such a project and see how it goes. I think during the initial stage of the development there was little doubt that it was doable, but making it in to a finished product and sell it to consumers, while staying within the price range, is a totally different story altogether.

One of the several advantages of having many Linux distributions is that there is always one distribution that meets specific needs for a group of users with similar interests. Whether you are a student or a scientist or someone who believes in some religion; you could use one of these special purpose distribution and share with people with similar interest instead of creating and customizing something from scratch.
Today we will share with you 10 such distribution (among many) that are fairly popular for specialized task or interest:
1) Scientific Linux: Based on Redhat, Scientific Linux is the result of a collaboration between two leading scientific research organization: Fermilab and CERN. As the name suggests this distribution can be a starting point for individuals or organizations who are interested in scientific research.
If you are more comfortable with Debian/Ubuntu environment, you might be interested in Scibuntu, an upcoming scientific distribution.
