Python was really hard. Maybe javascript or c++ or something else would be good?

hmm... I still want to do this, but perhaps I should learn more by working with other distros first? heh... I wonder if it is possible to convert a trisquel iso to a qcow2 file for qemu.

Linux from Scratch was recommended to me in order to learn how to build a distro. This is probably the best place to start: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ As someone who have been casually learning programming for a long time and not getting much practical use from it, I recommend only

I encourage you to reconsider. While you have the freedom to fork any free software project, please exercise this freedom responsibly and only after careful consideration of the downsides such as the opportunity costs of dispersion and diversion of man-hours and other resources, unnecessary

what exactly does it take programming experience wise, to learn to either fork a distro or spin a distro? I have interest again in forking debian (testing version) but, I don't know what programming languages are needed to even do this. I know some of you think this is not needed and
