Some company with the 'brilliant' idea of making PC:s in C64 cases has come up atleast once a decade since the 80's. Equally pointless each time.

I don't see anything related to Linux in that post at all. Infact, I dont see anything about being "back" either.

Indeed, that forum thread dosen't give much info. But judging by what it seems a new box and a little searching it seems that there's a joint between C= Commodore USA and Disney to bring C64 back.

This website has been knocking around for some time (my human memory tells me at least a year) but I do not believe whoever owns the Commodore brand now has actually shipped any of these products.
