Looks promising...

What is it based on? Site seems a bit vague.

Yep, site not great.

It uses a new DE named Hawaii, written in Qt - running on top of Wayland so no more X11. It uses Linux kernel but not based on any other distro. File system hierarchy was inspired by BeOS/HAIKU.

This will be very interesting then. So completely new. I take it will have a software centre like Mint where you can easily go and install software? Will check out the link bit later.
