If you can make it turnkey for pc install and VPS, then yes please.

Of course it should be turnkey.

I have very solid linux experience and have a small team I can put to work.

The target would be to create a minimalistic, security-focused linux distro to be used only for bitcoin clients on dedicated hardware (such as cheap laptops).

Things like wifi, bluetooth etc will be not included in the kernel and the distro will install with full disk encryption by default. The user can also configure which Bitcoin client will use.

There will be some wallet backup techniques (maybe on a SD-card) and the user will find it very very difficult to install unrelated software.

What do you think? Would this we welcomed in the community?
