Gnome Do is quickly becoming one of the coolest “killer apps” of the Linux desktop. Just the ability to launch applications by typing about 3 characters is great, but the plugins and the new Docky dock make Do an absolutely incredibly application.

In fact, Gnome Do could probably replace your main GNOME interface. So how long will it be until we see Dobuntu?

I am sure some people have already started to use Gnome DO instead of the panels, but would an entire Do-based distro be viable? Using Docky, I thnk it could actually be quite successful. Docky creates the possibility of a very clean, OS X-ish interface. This would be true without Docky, too, but Docky makes using Do much more intuitive for new users, which is important if you are shipping it as a major part of a distribution.

At this point, a “Dobuntu” distribution could not only be usable, but quite interesting.
