There are many Ubuntu based distros available right now, what features would make yours different? I can understand the Gnome 2 feature, but, now that it's a dead project (or at least frozen in its tracks), how will you maintain it? I'm sure security updates will be available for a while, mainly because it's part of RHEL6 and that is an LTS distro, but, no new updates for existing apps will be made. Also, a Gnome 2 fork has already been tried, and given up on, so, there won't be a Trinity like project to fall back on.

Besides the DE, what other features would make your spin different. What would pull new users in? As a project, I think creating a distro is a good learning tool, but, you need more than an abandoned DE to make it different.

I'm curious to see how you progress. Good Luck.

Edit: BTW - Your choice of the Liquorix kernel is excellent. I've known Damentz since we both ran Debian Sid - sidux. I only wish my knowledge of the kernel progressed as far as his did.

Well, I experienced Gnome 3 in Fedora, so I switched back to KDE, so, I understand your anti-Unity feelings, although, there are some that like Unity and Gnome 3, it's all about choice using Linux. Fedora 15 has the latest Gnome 3 extensions, which I'm told make it a lot easier to use than the earlier versions, but, I abandoned it a few weeks ago. I couldn't deal with the large carnival-like icons (same as Unity) and the constant back and forth switching between desktops. To me, it's more of a mobile OS than a desktop OS. So, I'm back on KDE, which was the DE I used when I first started using Linux.

Since your using Damentz's Liquorix kernel, you probably already know about h2's Debian utility scripts, smxi, sgfxi etc., but, if you don't you can find them at smxi.org. You mentioned post-install scripts, so, I'm assuming that's what your talking about. The inxi script is the first thing I add after setting up a new install. It helps me see if subsequent driver installations are working properly, h2 modified it for me so I could use it on Fedora, but, now it works on almost any Linux distro.

So, I wish you luck on your endeavour, and, hopefully, we'll see a website and an iso eventually.
