What I partially would love to see is a Unix like OS for the Pi thats designed and built specifically to take full advantage of everything the Pi has to offer. The Pi especially with the Pi Zero is a great tool to learn and teach. Since the Pi Zero is so cheap if it breaks you buy a new one...

What does the Pi offer that Linux doesn't take advantage of?
Compared to an x86 OS that is specialized and fits in a few MB worth of storate media. I think a custom OS for the Pi could be very lightweight and efficient. Especially given how spread out the SBC is. I am sure there could be a stripped down Distro for the Pi as well. Its a shame that Slitaz is kind of dead.
