OT - Building a Linux dev team

[Peter Damoc]

you forgot to mention several things:

1. are you going to charge people money for this distribution or is it
going to be open source like Ubuntu.
2. do you want people to relocate or they can work from their homes.
3. what will be the core of this distro? apt-based Debian? rpm-based
Fedora? maybe zero-install?
4. do you have a plan? 6 months target?
5. what areas do you plan to cover? apps integration? smart file-systems?
6. Recruiting "top notch Linux kernel, application and game
developers" is a recipe for disaster, sound like something I read
about the old .com bubble. How big will be the firm? is there IBM big
or start-up big?

In my view if you want to do something extraordinary try creating
something that has 0-install at the core with a nice clone of the BFS
as the file system. If you don't come up with something revolutionary
chances are that people won't notice you.

If you target support... and would like to keep your distro free...
don't do another distro... get in touch with Canonical and help out
with Ubuntu.
