How To Roll Your Own Linux Distro (InformationWeek)
InformationWeek offers
advice to those who would create their own distribution.
"Remastering, or respinning, involves installing a given
distribution, customizing it, and then recompiling the distribution,
modifications and all, back into an image file (typically an .ISO). In the
last couple of years this approach has become much easier thanks to
collections of community-created tools and scripts to automate the process,
so it's something that is rapidly becoming a native function for many
distributions. If you're just getting your feet wet with Linux and want to
try your hand at creating a modified distribution, this is the best place
to start."

How To Roll Your Own Linux Distro (InformationWeek) Posted Jan 24, 2008 1:35 UTC (Thu) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458) [Link] Strange that there isn't a mention of Fedora, which now has an extensive set of roll-your-own tools.
How To Roll Your Own Linux Distro (InformationWeek) Posted Jan 24, 2008 2:23 UTC (Thu) by kornak (guest, #17589) [Link] I have noticed something regarding the popular media as well as the Linux community that Redhat/Fedora is being ignored even though the primary contributions come from these distributions. I might be completely off base but it seems that this is a case of forgetting the "forest for the trees".
How To Roll Your Own Linux Distro (InformationWeek) Posted Jan 24, 2008 15:56 UTC (Thu) by tzafrir (subscriber, #11501) [Link] They also "ignored" Debian, OpenSUSE, and a bunch of others. That article is not meant to be cover all the possible options of generating your own modified Linux Distribution.
