Exherbo sounds like YIND (Yet Another Niche Distro).

1:52 AM EDT 		Reading their anouncement, in which it becomes very clear they haven't even reached alpha stage yet and the project is practically and ideologically far from ready to get outsiders looking at Exherbo, I wondered why is this news?

I shouldn't be picking on a fledgling addition to the distro universe, but I still don't know why I should get exited about an Open Source distro with a self announced "proprietary" development style. * we keep the developer team small on purpose - there's much less bullshit this way and we can all agree on the direction needed for Exherbo.

Plus, they cant even use a user base right now. Just don't expect anything to work (seriously!). Ongoing development is pretty fast and we're still at a stage where we happily break everything without second thoughts to installed Exherbo systems or users.

After I finished reading the announcement, my first thought was "Call again when they breach the top 20 list at Distrowatch."

Sounds like Ulteo.

Neat idea, but VNC isnt really the way to go I think.
