I've been communicating with a couple of Linux users who are interested in designing their own Linux distribution. One of their goals is to re-examine what other Linux distributions are doing and possibly provide another design alternative. If anyone's interested in discussing the pros and cons of various Linux distributions (what they like about them and what they'd like to see changed), please feel free to join the discussion at their forum. Also, if you'd like to get involved in the design of a Linux distribution during project inception, now's your chance. It would be great to share input and ideas with others and try to come up with something new and useful.There's a link at that site to the forum (although they're still working on security and you'll probably need to download the site's certificate).
The web site for the project is:
