What would this new distro/OS offer that ${EXISTING_OS}+Etoile does not? If it
was something akin to "StepBuntu" - i.e. an existing OS prepackaged with Etoile
and other GNUStep desktop apps - that might be feasible. However, I don't see
much point in starting something new from the ground up just to highlight
Etoile. I think the current strategy of getting Etoile packaged up for the
various existing package managers will help get that kind of exposure. Once
that's done, it should be as simple as installing a base OS and the "Etoile
desktop set". But if I am missing the point, please enlighten me!
