A new GNU/Linux distribution based on GNU/Debian aimed at desktop users has Gnome as its Desktop and includes new vesrsions of the most wanted softwares, like word processor, web browser, image processing .... It features brand new Gnome 2.8 (latest) and you can order cds now (CDs are free of cost not even shipping cost!). So hurry and download the single feature rich cd or order.
I never undestand why one more ... as for single user is consern then i think that knoppix is better off ...
well i think that ppl are wasting there energy in doing something else which is not actually required.. i asid this in may LUG ... dont invent wheel ... itz of no use ..
if u agree make it a point to convey this to the author.. when u order one copy ..

A new Live CD distro does not take that much effort to create... We daily release 2 new versions of our own distro :-) .... A team of 4-5 people can make a completely unique distro on their own in very less time... Here we can talk about freedom of choice rather re-inventing a wheel... Ubuntu in this has a better hardware detection routines i presume.

It is not just about effort required. It is about fragmenting the i18nisation/localisation and usage base of the parent distributions. We have a very small precious team and resources - why not spend efforts for localisation, and contribute other engineering efforts to the parent distribution?
Personally, given a choice, I would rather have Debian/Fedora providing full Indic support before any Indlinux live-cd/distro, etc. (Absolutely no offense meant to your intentions).
If you have improvements in mind for Anaconda/Debian-installer, I would rather prefer the patches being first sent upstream to these package maintainers, and after integration with the trunk, these being used in the Indian distribution.
The idea is for the world to work on a common code base(functionality + i18nisation), diverging only when country specific work is required.
Seriously, there are too many *noppixes out there already. :)

I am sorry i am commenting selectively on your comment

Then so we have as M$ W****** (TM)(R) a so called common code base. GNU GPL is indeed about freedom, so let the world do whatever, we are no one to restrict anyones freedom.
BTW if i had the time i will create my own customized distribution than use fedora or debian or xyz, there are plenty of things i dont like abt them.

Well if i had the time there would have been another one, courtesy your truly.
If we like it and the change is worth it then we should :-). Lets not waste more time debating on some trivial issues.

All the *oppnix like distros are based on Debian. They have what Debian has. plus their own enhancements.
