for the love of god, no :) creating and maintaining and supporting a distro is an enourmous task, and we don't have the resources for that (nor we want to use them in something that isn't our "job"). i even think we shouldn't have our own live cd... why encourage people to test-drive something they can't get? that qualifies as a false promise too, and we want to avoid those, don't we? if we encourage people to try something, we should drive them to real-life products (like ubuntu and fedora core), not synthetic creations that only exist in our minds. > Yes and no.
