Wouldn't it be fairly simple to just fork Ubuntu? If that completely misses what you meant, I would probably recommend just stepping back to Debian.

- benatkin 17y agoI've heard good things about Arch, if you want another bleeding-edge desktop distro. The nice thing about Ubuntu, though, is it's good for both desktop and servers, and makes it really easy to use the desktop distro for development and then use the same stuff on the server.
- vidarh 17y agoThat's what OpenVz, KVM or Xen is for. I don't know about Ubuntu, but on the latest Debian getting an OpenVz setup going is an apt-get of a single package and then you have the pleasure of having your dev stuff nicely isolated and there's no reason to worry about whether the distro is good for both desktop and server anymore (it also means you can make conservative choices for the servers that'd be "unpleasant" to live with on the desktop...) My home box is running 14-15 containers now - I spin up a new one for all larger projects, plus a few others. It's lightweight enough that I don't notice the overhead.
