Hi Cloo,

Hi Cloo, Well, there were a couple of attempts already... For example this one: http://www.openarchitect.org/ But on any modern distribution most of the good tools are one click away to install, so there is not really a big need for a specific distribution I think. Besides, seeing the tremendous efforts needed to make a new distribution, I think the linux architecture community would be (at the moment, at least) better served with efforts aimed at bettering architecture-specific tools (CAD, BIM, etc...) or, as you well said, share workflow knowledge. That, yes, would be pretty interesting...

Gathering a community is not very easy, someone needs to have much energy dedicated to that. If you are willing to start something, though, I believe "linux architects" would form quite a big group...
