Great. Will look forward to your feedback when we have something<br>
concrete for you to play with.<br>

I guess by "antiX 15.1" you mean <<a href="http://antix.mepis.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://antix.mepis.org/</a>>. That looks<br>
like an interesting project to borrow ideas from for this project.<br>
<br>
We certainly do not want to create a distribution from scratch - even<br>
less so than for antiX: antiX is a Debian-derived distribution, and this<br>
is a Debian Pure Blend. We rely on Debian not only for the past 20 years<br>
of development, but also future development, by staying as an integral<br>
part of Debian itself, instead of forking.<br>
<br>
The easiest is - obviously - to not do this project at all, but use<br>
either Debian or antiX as-is. This project is about the next-easiest<br>
but arguably most interesting: Improve the universal operating system<br>
Debian to support Fluxbox as a first-class window manager.<br>
