Are you aware that quite a few distro's offer a easy way
to test latest git

* Archlinux - AUR packages
* Gentoo - *-9999 ebuild
* Debian/Ubuntu - xorg-edgers
* Fedora - nightly/koji builds - available as live cd/usb


Don't get me wrong it's a very good idea, although I can think of
a few things that should be taken into consideration

* What distro is it going to be based on, how about maintaining it
/me is looking forward the discussion regarding this point

* Would you have any ideas regarding maintenance and hosting of the
image(s)


Cheers
Emil
