I'm all for choice... but I want that choice to be a real choice.. not a differing logo.... If someone is going to make their own linux distro... then make a REAL difference... and make it worth while. Not 10 scripts to change fonts.<br/><br/></span></li><li class="l0" id="c30634390">NeedCoffee, <a href="?t=30634390#c30634390">on 01/25/2010</a>, -0/+15<span>This really isn't valid for creating your own distribution, but repackaging existing ones. With the exception of #10. If you want to learn about rolling your own linux system from scratch then look into <a class="user" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20100128082831/http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/</a> then pick whatever packaging method you prefer.<br/><br/>You start from source and basics like libc + kernel + binutils and go from there.</span></li><li class="l0" id="c30633395">basotl, <a href="?t=30633395#c30633395">on 01/25/2010</a>, -0/+11<span>Only three of those are scripts. </span></li><li class="l1" id="c30633166">samurimaster, <a href="?t=30631216#c30633166">on 01/25/2010</a>, -5/+16<span>Then don't use them</span></li><li class="l0" id="c30639754">frambris, <a href="?t=30639754#c30639754">on 01/25/2010</a>, -0/+7<span>I've tried LFS. Very nice. Good to get to know what makes a Linux distribution. Gentoo is somewhat roll you own Linux... but with the help of premade scripts that is tweakable. Aaah, Gentoo. New version of GNOME or some other big lump of code = See you next week, I'm compiling.</span></li><li class="l1" id="c30637078">Eorster, <a href="?t=30631216#c30637078">on 01/25/2010</a>, -0/+7<span>I think you are missing the best point of being able to do this. You can create systems based on specific back end needs for distribution as one unit. I don't need a distribution with every package available. I need a distribution that covers my specific business needs and unless I have a very unique business others may be able to use it as well. The power of open source.</span></li><li class="l1" id="c30633226">ZhiZaki, <a href="?t=30631216#c30633226">on 01/25/2010</a>, -5/+10<span>We I want my cat to evolve into a super nimble catman hunter who speaks 13 languages overnight, but I'd settle for being able to change his fur and tail length.<br/><br/>The same concept of biology evolution applies here as well. Several small, minor changes made over a period of time lead to something different that what you originally started with. The reason there's 10,000 distros to begin with is because there's 10,000 different specific needs or wants to be met. Obviously there's a demand for people to cater to, like the users of Miley Cyrus Linux.<br/><br/>Side note: LFS FTW</span></li><li class="l1" id="c30634409">tcheard, <a href="?t=30633906#c30634409">on 01/25/2010</a>, -1/+5<span>If people want to make there own linux distro, or want to make a very minor change, whats wrong with them doing so? If you don't like it or don't want another one then don't use it, but thats not a reason why they shouldn't do it.</span></li><li class="l1" id="c30643892">MattBD, <a href="?t=30639754#c30643892">on 01/25/2010</a>, -0/+4<span>I've always wanted to try LFS, it sounds like you can learn a lot from it.

I've remastered Ubuntu to create my own live CD's, but I doub't I'll ever release them.

Writing "Self destruct" would make sparks fly from my keyboard. Voice recognition and an AI which ends all communications with "//End of line". It should make my webcam glow with a red light from the lens. Use a text to speech synthesizer that can speak with a mid west accent. It should of course be able to interface with alien space ships, create viruses and upload them without setting off your own anti-virus. Try to take over the world because it is smarter than meat bags.<br/>Write out commands really large on screen.<br/>Using PHP is a perfectly good way to hack myself into any government datafile. It should also display a map showing how my packets are routed in straight lines across the globe between different computers and satellites.<br/>Show me something to create that and I will be there.<br/><br/>All jokes aside - I like linux.
