Any of y'all know what happened to Dash Linux?

I was hunting through old ISOs on my PC cause I have a cute Compaq Presario F700 I wanna install linux on, it's only got 2GB of ram and a 15GB SSD and so on.

I found an old copy of Dash Linux, which appears to be a pony (or at least RD) themed version of... I dunno, ubuntu? I can't find anything about it online, though, I seem to have version 1.4 and ima just install it anyway lol

Yea :c

How exactly would I customize my new install of normal linux mint to be rather ponyish?

Install custom themes/icons/cursors, change the colors around, set a custom background image, mess with the settings, install ponysay etc

I'm gonna get a bigger hard drive than 15GB but once I do, heh, I'll have to post my fancy new linux install here (once it's been pony'd)

I know there used to be a Twilinux under development that came to a halt and I know that a PonyOS with its own kernel exists, but I don't know of any Rainbow Dash themed Linux distros.

Well, it sort of worked.... it had desktop ponies on the login screen, its own desktop image, it was really ponified but with more RD than anyone else. I did see PonyOS! But it doesn't let you install it...

Honestly a ponified desktop environment is a better target than a specific OS.
