In theory your plan sounds great, but in practice all this L-world is a mess and I think the time is not worth to be wasted to maintain and develop yet another Linux distro from scratch. What I have in mind is something similiar to the common desktop/system everyone of us uses regularly and nothing special - but out of the box and with live cd capabilities and ready to install... I also have in mind that I need this very urgently and that's because I don't care so much about the base system - I know that ubuntu sucks, but I can't change it. Regards, -- Anselm R.
