Original title: It’s Linux, On A Sega Megadrive

It's a cool project! but best to use the original title and original source - see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

I've changed the title and URL to match https://github.com/LinuxMD/linuxmd and put the other URL in the toptext so people can look at it too.

Thanks Dan! Will do. I would have fixed it, but by the time I noticed the complaints, it was already too late.

Really odd decision for it to be changed away from this original title.

And if I'm being pedantic (and I am) it's Sega Mega Drive.

Repo, which says Sega MegaDrive, is at: https://github.com/LinuxMD/linuxmd

(Disclaimer: I'm partial to "Mega Drive" myself.)

Wikipedia has this

blue = Mega Drive, red = Genesis

(didn't find the sales numbers, for those wondering. Sorry!)

I guess parent is pedantic about Megadrive instead of Mega Drive

Love that chart! It could also apply almost exactly to the "Buster Bros." artocle (everybody else other than North America knows it as "Pang"). This sort of rewriting of history is rife on Wikipedia.

And it really is on a MegaDrive as I only tested this stuff on a Japanese MegaDrive.
