HaRuMaN:
Noted for interest.
GadgetGeek:
Yes please.
Silas (son of Silas):
Which would be of more use to people, a live CD or and installable distro?
Just answered my own question before I finished typing, I'll make it a live distro, with a menu option to install
massive88:
Yes this would be very cool, looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
cosam:
This would be a great way to get folk up and running with the minimum of effort. I may even have something to contribute ;-) One thing though: where do all the ROMs come from? I think you may get in trouble if they were simply bundled on the CD/DVD.
Have you seen how the Ubuntu derivatives (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.) work? They are basically one meta-package which installs everything from the splash screen and themes to the window manager and configuration. You can even switch between derivatives using a single "apt-get install <whatever>-desktop" command. This approach allows you to tailor the distribution without the hassle of maintaining all the "uninteresting" packages - you just borrow them from Ubuntu itself. If you want a live and/or installation CD, you just take the standard Ubuntu image and make sure your meta-package installed by default.
