Q:

Building a GNOME 3 based distribution from scratch?

I have this idea of installing Ubuntu using the minimal cd, and then installing GNOME 3 using the ppa. How viable is this? And how will my remix compare with distro's that already ship with GNOME 3 like Fedora or openSUSE?

A:

This is a very similar question as this AU question and answer.
You should note, adding Gnome3 onto Ubuntu 11.04 is not as "clean" as the new Fedora 15 - since this has been built with Gnome3 from the beginning.  Building ontop of Ubuntu means upgrading most of the Gnome-2 libraries.
