Hi Terry,
So no; I don't think many of us have thought about building our own
distro for very long :-)
All true. For those that want to dabble and see how a system is put
together, there's http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
Cheers, Ralph.
There is also a small section in the current months magazine Linux
Format about building your own.
One suggestion somebody suggested many moons ago on a forum I was on was
to not build a new distro but to piggy back on a main distro but have
your own desktop environment (the discussion started that the guy liked
the distro but not the desktop or some of the programs used, so he ended
up making his own distro using the base of the distro he liked but added
his own desktop environment and programs still a lot a work but takes
one step out the equations.
