Taking into account that there’s a big percentage of ubuntu users that code usually that would be a great flavour. I would use it if it were available.

@Logan, I’m sorry to hear that your efforts didn’t work out. But, if you can offer any advice about it. I would appreciate it immensely.

I did start a programmer’s distro based off ubuntu a little while ago. I was using fluxbox. It turned out alright but not of the release quality. Im interested in following this

I’ll probably include options for all stable desktop options. Gnome does seem like the logical one to set as default, which is probably be how it will end up. But I definitely won’t have Compiz and anything like that installed right off the bat.

this is an amazing idea.
i think the default desktop should be gnome for Devbuntu because thats the normal default. Since you are worried about cutting all the fluff i would also recommend including an option for XFCE.

A simple, and yet exquisitely wonderful idea at the same time.

I can understand Mint, Mythbuntu, etc.., but I cannot understand why this proposed distro has not been around since day one.

Thank you for raising my attention about this.
