That is the beauty of Linux, expertise and time notwithstanding, anyone can roll their own Linux Distro.
The Idea of a distro which addresses a particular group, with particular needs, is great.
The fact that this particular distro adresses college students will be a big help towards pushing Linux on the desktop. As these students (that learn and use Linux) graduate, they will go into the workforce, and inquire upon the IT staff on having a Linux desktop. Some will start their own companies, and what will they have on their company desktops? Linux!
This is a project that all of us should tip our hat to and try to support in some way, if nothing else, moral support (shame on the post-er who felt the need to ridicule, next time educate, not sneer).
I see this project as yet another developing fire that a certain proprietary software vendor will try to snuff out. I hope this becomes a wildfire, recklessly out of control.
Students everywhere using Linux, and developing Linux. An idea whose time has come.
