I was wondering, is it possible to make my own customized version of Linux based on Ubuntu 10.10 ?

I am thinking of calling it something different but I was wondering besides making a custom Live CD I am talking about an Linux that people can install on there computers using Ubuntu installation method.

I want to base it on something other than GNOME but be able to install it latter on.

Thanks in advance,

Benny

  • sure there is livecd dociumentation, however, you'll need lots of free time , to learn all that is needed to make it work, and then customize it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD or you can download Ubuntu Customization Kit which makes eveything much easier – Uri Herrera Feb 04 '11 at 09:50

  • well that's not easy a task from what i know, i've been trying to make my own too, and so far i've only managed to change the theme and some icons ... – Uri Herrera Feb 04 '11 at 09:55

    as i said UCK it's by far the easiest more user-friendly option, there is also remastersys, and reconstructor, but ofcourse it's not as simple as checking some options on a menu

    , sorry for the other link, it's actually this one https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization

Yes you could, but it would be a lot of work.

If you're not a fan of Gnome, have you tried taking a look at the other distributions based on Ubuntu?
