Absolutely...unfortunately I know jack about doing the hard stuff...however Im sure John/roberts/ke4nt1 are more than capable..

Like I said...my dream is to have a super minimal/command line only (webmin will be the configuration tool) release...then ppl can add the "server" packages as needed (the packages will have the webmin loaded modules built in witht them)...this way you have a minimal server distro without all the other useless crap involved...

You might look at all the really nice documentation for making a live-linux cd over at linux-live.org (the Slax guys). They make it look easy.

They say if you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you hear satanic messages. That's nothing, cause if you play it forwards, it installs Windows.

ok, this needs to be as complete as possible, with all the standard stuff, and only optional extras as .dsls, i am currently seeing if (with my minimal C++ skills) i can mess around with the fluxbox code to strip out all the junk, so it just manages windows, no menus, no bars, just the windows, then the tcl script provides the gui (in a window) (there will be a custom made daemon running to check if the main program is still runnning so that the user does not close it by accident, or i could always have a go at fixing fluxbox to not have a close or minimize button on specific windows. can anyone with greater c++ skill help me out with this?

So you want to keep the X-desktop?

Wont that be irrelivant in a server distro?

If it were up to me, I'd rather have the space that the x server takes up for more utilities.

for gui's you could always use ncurses. it's nice and small.
