There are no new flavours of linux. You're probably mixing it up with linux distributions of which there are many. Most of which are, whilst not exactly useless, have limited appeal. Yes they are fun and I love trying them out. I also make customised livecds for my own personal use. But the vast majority of these linux distros are based on "distro A", which is based on "distro B", which is based on "distro C", ..., which is based on "distro Z", which is based on either Debian, Redhat, Slackware or Suse. However for real work I would only use a major distro where I can expect timely updates and security fixes. > we all know its a massive undertaking, but there is merit and purpose > in it nonetheless. And just what might the "merit" and "purpose" be? We can probably conclude that the "purpose" is to facilitate the creation of a "large site", but the OP never said what/whether there is any merit. But the creation of a "large site" does not imply that there needs to be a new framework, so the "purpose" is not clear. > and you never know a new one could just become the best one. Look, if the OP has what it takes to build "the best" framework he would have just gone ahead and did it instead asking. That is not to say that in future when he has more experience he could not go on to build a kickass framework. -- Crayon
