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.

Perhaps that is something to focus on? sri On Sat, Apr 13, 2013 at 2:22 AM, Brett Legree <[email protected]>wrote: > 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.
