While in theory this may give *us* (the LUG) a good reference point, 
assuming the entire LUG decides to learn this new distro (I know I won't 
- I'm too busy working with and for my current distro and preferred 
applications - and that's just my limited free time), it's going to be 
absolutely terrible for anyone else to support.

Why not use an existing popular distro for which there is already a 
large amount of good documentation, such as Gentoo or Ubuntu? This way, 
not only is there almost certainly going to be someone in the LUG who 
can help with support, there will definitely be documentation and 
support from outside the LUG too.
