Hi, I need help to decide on this please, I've got a few design ideas, and wondered, should I build them into an OS or release it as a Package, I'm not sure if I do it as a package it might get "lost in the croud" of packages.

That depends entirely on what your "design ideas" are.

Package. The world has enough Ubuntu derivatives that differ only in appearence.

Personally i'd say we've got about 18000% more than enough.

It seriously would help if you told us what you've done/ are thinking of. I say package.

And what do you mean by that? A graphical toolkit? A GTK theme? A Qt style? Metacity window decoration?

Either way, a package would be the way to go. Even if you were to create a derivative OS with those additions you are talking about, you would still have to package it.
