1/. It would be wonderful if there could be a Rox/Zeroinstall based distro - perhaps based on Ubuntu (Rubuntu or 0buntu?). It is so difficult to get Rox up and running on any distro (ive tried lots) that it is hard to see how their can be any widespread adoption of this system, for all its attributes. This seems such a shame - all this potential and hard work going to waste. A proper Rox distro would not only solve the problems getting a basic Rox desktop up and running, but provides the opportunity to build in 0install based default apps and proper gui launchers on the desktop for all the usual suspects. A normal default Rox install gives only a completely bare desktop which is hardly inspiring.
2/. The Rox-All package does not seem to exist on Ubuntu Feisty for some reason.
3/. Off topic, but we need someone to package up some mainstream apps into 0install (ardour, hydrogen, audacity, klear, kaffeine, devede, dvdstyler, etc) to encourage use of 0install.
