Being an avid Debian Sid (and Sidux) user, but preferring Ubuntu due to the way things are going, I'm wonder if anyone is interested in making an rolling, unstable ubuntu based distro?
Some notes:
We continually base ourselves to "Ubuntu+1" upgrading to it as soon as it becomes available.
For common apps which have PPAs which offer even more updated versions of things, we switch to that
We build off from the mini.iso as a starting point.The default desktop should be kept as simple as possible (modular), to minimise breaks and the chance one thing can take out the whole system. Xfce? Lxde? A bit of mix and match perhaps.
The purpose is to have a setup for someone who isn't afraid of having absolutely the latest things, (In many ways, Ubuntu +1 and PPA is even more ahead of Sid, particular for end user apps you actually use/care about) while keeping the familiarity of Ubuntu etc. Another point is that while sid, sidux etc all ask you to use the command line for upgrades etc (and one of their greatest comments about it), Ubuntu + 1 is a base where it was made with you using a gui in mind, which is convienent for many users.
Thoughts?
