Re: An Idea

[Gabe Delgado <gjdelgad@xxxxxxx>]

I appreciate all you guy's input on this. You helped me make up my mind on whether or not I would go through with this. I'm just not going to try and build it. Creating a new distro is hard enough as it is without dealing with MTU's own guidelines. Like I said it was only an idea and I didn't mind exploring the possibility. Seems to me it's possible but not probable. Thanks for all the input.

For all this crazy distro talk, isn't it much easier to put a veneer
on top of another distro?  Make a livecd, like gentoo's liveCD, where
the frambuffer splash and desktop are MTU themed.  This seems like a
lot less work, and expands with another distro...
