We should pick Ubuntu for this. Many of the users here are used to Windows and they won't expect the massive mindfuck that Gentoo can present. Ubuntu looks by far the best one.

  • I agree with that dude, Ubuntu would probably be the easiest to use for the average anon. However I support the idea of creating our own distro, but we all know that'll never happen with how disorganized we are and since there doesn't seem to be anyone skilled enough to do it.

For bandwidth issues if we actually finished this we could probably host the distro on rapidshit or something, or if someone's willing to contribute a little jewgold we could buy a dedicated server specifically for this project and maybe W/i/ndows and possibly pay for a little of the hosting by shipping liveCDs to people too lazy to download like some other distro sites do.

New distro

I say we go with creating an entirely new distro for ourselves. Even though it will take a lot more work, the end result will be a lot better than simply remixing an old distro.

openSUSE

This is better than Ubuntu IMO (not just technically, even the usability is now way better - especially for KDE, which looks more like Windows than GNOME does). Just look at susestudio.com, they have a really nice web interface for quick creation of live DVDs/CDs an disk images (even for VMWare). I've got access to an account there, it really rocks the shit. When it's development has gone far enough, they will even provide free hosting of the images, what makes this a perfect solution.

  • SUSE is one of the worst distributions around. It is pretty bad to work with and the RPM system sucks so bad. Debian or Ubuntu would be easier to work with.
