Hi,
that's just what we've been doing for the last 2 years over at 
http://www.arklinux.org/ -- I think we have a pretty good start for just what 
you're suggesting, we just failed to pick up any attention so far.

You (and anyone else) are more than welcome to join our team.

If you wish to give it a try, please use the current development iso 
(dockyard-devel), the latest stable release is a bit outdated.

We include OpenOffice and gimp on the main CD because they're important 
functionality and there's no real KDE alternative (KOffice is great, but 
still problematic if coworkers keep sending you M$ documents) - however, 
we've "fixed" them to at least look like KDE applications (using the KDE 
native widget support for OpenOffice and the gtk-qt-engine for gimp).
