Work out why first. There is already a distro to handle just about every special purpose niche and a glut of general purpose distros: http://distrowatch.com/ You will want to be familiar with filesystem layout, shell scripting, compiling, security, a packaging system and lots more. For a general purpose/desktop distro it would be best to start with something established such as Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora etc. Some of the so-called distros are just one of the major distros with a different menu and desktop theme and not much else. If you want to build a system to understand how the bits go together something like http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ might be the way to go. There are also distros to build distros http://www.rocklinux.org/wiki/Main_Page Ubuntu can be so polished it might be hard to see what is going on behind the scenes. Perhaps Gentoo or Slackware might be worth a look. There are some useful small special purpose distros such as puppylinux that might be worth trying. They have less complexity. Another suggestion is instead of going alone why not learn from the best and help out an established distro such as Ubuntu? -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
