I have an idea that I think would be great for Cinnarch. I think having a distro involved in gnome initial setup other than Fedora would be excellent. They can provide alternative approaches or help implement the design in Cinnarch. Basically go all in as a complete GNOME distro.

Hey, that's a good idea I think. I'll get in touch with Alexandre again and see if there is any interest. Brett On Apr 14, 2013 8:01 PM, Sriram Ramkrishna s...@ramkrishna.me wrote: I have an idea that I think would be great for Cinnarch. I think having a distro involved in gnome initial setup

Hashem, I spoke directly with Alexandre (the Cinnarch project lead) after reading a post in the news section of the project web page - they've already made GNOME the default. Of course, nothing stops one from installing something else, it is still Arch underneath. Brett On Apr 12, 2013 11:58 PM,

Good day all, I had a brief exchange with Alexandre of Cinnarch today - if you did not see my little note on IRC, they are moving to GNOME http://www.cinnarch.com/important-notice-the-future-of-cinnarch/ and seeking a new name. I thought since a few GNOME users are using Arch that it might be

Ah yes, thanks Olav for clarifying. Perhaps I am overly enthusiastic :) I just figured I would put the idea up. In any case, does anyone have any interest in a sort of nice to point to rolling release distribution that uses GNOME as default? This could be one possibility, if it works out. If

Good point Juanjo - we don't want to confuse people like that, and as Olav pointed out GNOME OS has other goals. I'll communicate with Alexandre and let him know; I am sure they'll come up with a new and unique name! Thanks for the feedback - Brett On Fri, Apr 12, 2013 at 7:28 AM, Juanjo Marin

Hi ! I think GNOME Arch (Linux) can be more appropiated, because it explain quite well what it delivers :-) GNOME OS will be more confusing from my point of view, because people can think this particular distro is under the control of the GNOME project or something like, without mentioning that

The Getting GNOME link doesn't include a nice to point to rolling release distribution that uses GNOME as default, though. But anyway... no matter, all feedback is valuable, and I have emailed Alexandre to say that no one seemed to think it was appropriate as the name GNOME OS already applies to
