I used to do something vageuly like this with Dos 6.2 and Windows 95. I discovered that simply replacing `shell=explorer.exe` in win.ini with whatever .exe I wanted would make that program the complete environment. It actually worked surprisingly well for creating a distraction free workspace --"Okay matt, you're /only /doing photoshop work this morning...".

If I really needed to I could always call up regular Windows services, or run other programs, by expedient of /Ctrl-Alt-Delete > task manager > Run [some-other.exe]/.
Yeah, I'm totally digging that approach!

    To me, the only crazy part of the idea is the amount of work it
    could imply =P


+1 but oh, what a grand adventure 'twould be :->

Looking at the LinuxFromScratch docs at the moment, and also Debian's remastersys. I'm thinking that I'm going to dive into LFS sometime soon here just for learning purposes, and then see what I can do working from a Debian base...

The hardest bit, as far as I can tell, would be the replacement of system init scripts with python scripts. I'll have to work that all out some more, but my immediate thought is that I could simply replace 'init' with a symlink to a custom python script that uses leoBridge to read from some .leo files in /etc.

More thought necessary, but I'm thinking!
