A guy who works for the EU has proposed (in his spare time it seems - not in an official capacity) that Europe have its own Linux distro for European public sector use.

The plan is to base this distro on Fedora with KDE Plasma. I suppose Plasma is relatively similar to the Windows desktop, so it should be familiar for public sector employees.

Thoughts?

    Since Europe (especially Germany) likes its acronyms, why not call it EPSos (spoken “app-sauce”) for European Publich Sector OS?
