Can someone guide me how I can create a custom linux system in the easiest way? I would like to add programs and libraries of my choice on top of a base platform and offer it for free for download.

Hey, there is a really good FAQ. However the Linux platform is really fragmented now so it makes no sense to create a new distribution. But if i ever had to do I would go for this as a start: | |||||||||

You may try http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-with-remastersys.html or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization These are for Ubuntu, but for a redistributable distro, thins might have some advantages | |||

I realize that this post is a bit old.. There have been related questions that refer back here and I'd like to share some insight. While it is not creating a whole new distribution there is an alternative method available for deploying highly customized systems. Take a look into what is involved to build a custom repository for your distribution of choice. Combined with an appropriate kick start file (or equivalent). In general it is easy enough to spin an installation disk just to modify this option. This provides a much easier method than building the whole infrastructure from scratch - and allows you to leverage as much of the existing infrastructure as possible. I've successfully deployed custom built RPMs for software packages that included very specific configurations and defaults. Disclaimer: Most of my experience has been with CentOS. I'm sure that similar utilities are available for most any distribution. | |||
