Kirk: I'm not sure what the issue is. There are plenty of sites that describe how to (re)master a distribution. My approach would be "just do it." The only problem I see is the lack of any serious criteria for inclusion of packages. The new distribution image likely will grow to DVD proportions as folks clamor for their favorite to be included. An alternative approach is to harken back to the beginnings of personal computing and issue CD collections of useful application packages that can be used as a local repository. Granted, this approach presupposes one sticks to some "standard" like the Advanced Packaging Tool (apt) used in Debian and its derivatives but it has its advantages in that one could mix and match applications. I won't pretend that everyone has decent Internet access (especially here in the "advanced" USA) but those who do likely would be just as well served with a Website/Blog/Wiki page that highlights the best and the brightest applications out there. This has the advantage over a hard distribution of not having constantly to refresh package versions. Am I missing something?
