Re:Why do we need such a specific distro?

[TheMadPenguin]

Yes it would actually, but our idea is to build a system that "runs out of the box". Something so simple to set up and use that most windows and mac converts will be able to be instantly productive. In speaking with Bero from Ark, we will probably also package a suite as an additional ISO... probably for the Ark distro, but I don't see why we couldn't further that effort for other distros as well.
