The only fault is a lack of direction. Whenever anyone tells you not to make a distro, ignore them! Im a firm believer of Linux being about choice. If you want to make a distro, go for it! Just try to have some direction with it
With 400 odd Linux distros out there, theres a lot of different directions distros can take. Choose what path you want, have a look into what you want, then go for it. If its an epic failiure, so be it, but you might just learn something. That something make become an idea for a next distro, and you might make something fantastic.
With that said, re reading your edited post (ya didnt have that before
) i noticed a line.
So you want a real GUI based distro? That right there could be your path. I loved the Mint XFCE menus. Merlwiz made a fantastic GUI for all the XFCE and Linux settings in one panel and i thought it was great. Well, maybe your path could be a GUI based Ubuntu distro. That could be your niche. Think about it, talk to your friend, make a plan, then come back with it and say 'guys what do you think?'.
