Small-Business Class Linux

Hello all, I am interested in forming a distro specifically geared toward
small business users in offices that have around 10 PC's. I think this is a
niche' market that hasn't yet been addressed.

I would like to base the distro off of Debian and KDE using source code and
reducing the size of the distro.

What I envision is the basic Debian framework with the 2.6 kernel and the
KDE desktop with minimal addons. For example "kdegames" would not be
compiled in, nor would "kdedevelopment." The "remainig kde subgroups
"networking" "utilities" etc... would also be paired down to include the
basics for a networked office environment.

Is there any interest out there in the community for this product, and if so
is there anyone interested in helping out with it?

If you are interested in helping out please reply by email to
mshelby1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks!
