Though not much is known about the OS, and it is not seen ingame, what can be gathered is that it proclaims to be a better browser than the others, and that Eunux's mascot is Sux the Sea Cucumber. Like the real-life OS, Eunux is available in several distributions, including RedTwat, Ucuntu, Slackcrack, and Knobbix, which are parodies of Red Hat Linux, Ubuntu, Slackware, and Knoppix respectively.
