Re: [linuxdc-dev] Further Reading

[Arthur O. <art...@gm...>]

Hello John,

If, as you have stated, are interested in rolling your own distro, you 
might want to take a look at the Linux from Scratch project 
(http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/) where you'll find the resources 
(mainly documentation) that you might need to get going.

TLDP also has some helpful documentation although I can not specify what 
exactly you might find useful for your purpose off the top of my head, 
but, the From-Power-up-to-Bash-Prompt HOWTO may provide a useful insight 
- it did for me some time back ;) And last but not least...

I've noticed a number of people on this list and probably elsewhere are 
currently or planning to roll their own distros. I was thinking, 
wouldn't it be a good (or even better) idea if we as a community put all 
this effort and ideas together to roll a standard distribution for the 
DC? Possibly by building on top of and taking ideas from already 
existing ones (Debian, Gentoo, et al)? I'm not sure whether this topic 
has been touched on before, or maybe it hasn't? But I just want to know 
what you think of it, that's all :)

And congratulations to everyone involved on the soon-to-be-fully-revived 
website (can't wait to see what it holds beneath):)
