Wondering if DSL project is willing to have a new turn on the distro - DSL-et maybe? - DSL with electronic design tools.

I plan on finding a distro willing to allow this and I'd be more than happy to help create/support it. I have some experience with creating, modifying and tweaking complex liveCDs.

My plans for this started as a personal toolbox, to use as a prototyping tool (for electronics systems) and being able to take a CD with the tools I need and a USB stick or disk with designs, a few materials to a customer's site and demonstrating to customers an ability to design/create/replicate electronics (origionally intended for robotics) on just about any type of hardware...

It could also be a tool to teach electronics design.

Anyone have an opinion?

yeah, i'd like to see that.
not that i know anything about electronics, but that geek factor would certainly get my approval.
