I think this is probably a good solution, there is already enough Ubuntu distro's without adding another one.

    Instead of a whole new "distro", how about an add-on CD that includes
    popular games, Wine, custom themes, etc? Sort of a "gamer essentials
    pack" produced by Ubuntu-gaming, targeted at Ubuntu users? That
    solution gives us something we can promote to people already using
    Ubuntu. Then, for new users, we could promote an "Ubuntu + Game Pack"
    DVD already tricked out using our add-ons.

Need I remind everyone what the main reason for this group is?

Taken right from the front page of the launchpad site -
"The Ubuntu Gaming Team recognizes the importance of FOSS gaming for the adoption of Ubuntu and exists to address the barriers to the development of FOSS games! The Gaming Team strives to and promote Ubuntu through FOSS games and FOSS games through Ubuntu."

I don't really see how we can promote Ubuntu through FOSS games and FOSS games through Ubuntu if we start catering to proprietary games and making little packages of Wine and custom installers.
