Happy that you are inspired by this - and yes, please post more about
your actual code and setup!
Beware, though, that the concept "Debian Pure Blend" is about using only
official Debian parts, no external addons. Or put differently: that all
pieces (code, scripts, graphics etc.) that you add to make your system
is put into Debian. Then, when next stable Debian release includes your
system, your system is a Debian Pure Blend.
More info here: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPureBlends
Please do not despair: Debian Pure Blends is not meant to discourage you
from "hacking on top" of Debian - just please do not call it a DEbian
Pure Blend, because such approach is in fact not purely Debian.
I am still very curious to hear more about your work!
Regards,
- Jonas
