[aclug-L] Re: Can I make my own Linux distro?

[Anne McCadden <ironrose@xxxxxxx>]

Why would you want to?  There are already so many distros, you could 
pick one that you like and use it.  Your time is yours and you are free 
to do what you want.

I feel that I have a lot of things that I want to learn and to do, but 
not enough time to learn and do all that I want.  In other words, a time 
crunch.  Since I have a limited amount of time that I can spend with 
linux, then my time is better spent creating better web pages and more 
streamlined databases using linux as the OS.  I know that I definately 
have more time than I do money, that is what prompted me to use linux in 
the first place.  I suspect that computer users in general will use 
whatever OS will run their favorite applications.  ~Anne
