Cogent Linux Goals:
• Primary Goal: to create a custom built Linux boot CD based on Ubuntu Linux
• Secondary Goals: include theme and package customizations and specifically include my own gdm login screen from: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ubuntu+black+gdm+login?content=73364
• Tertiary Goals: Enable 3D Desktop
