I recently spending a few minutes looking at docker http://docker.io Looks rather nice for a server. It'd be great to do a Gobo version for desktop/workstations. Let the parent distro handle all the tedious tasks and Gobo handle user applications. It should be system wide rather than just living in $HOME. Maybe distro-agnostic but I wouldn't care if it was Gobo for day to day use.
