Digit Linux
hey everyone
Forget about suse,mandriva,knoppix etc . why cant these people from digit devlop their own linux distro . I dont think its difficult for them . so why cant they devlop their own flavour for their readers and give it in their forthcoming magazine .i really want a linux distro in digit style.

i dont think digit people have enough time and effort for developing their own distro. And there are several excellent distros available. I'd suggest to put their effort onto localization rather than developing a new distro. Developing a new distro is not a simple task. It need mammoth effort. and if you are pointing out something like PCQLinux, it is not a new distro, it is a customised and tuned up version of RH/Fedora
@prakash: LFY had their own distro named LiFY (Linux from India For You) earlier. But now they had stopped development and support on it.

i think that the max we can do is to just change the name from the distro to ours....
as the parent distro is already pretty groomed..............

Good idea people. Lets develop a distro from Beyond Linux From Scratch. We people can work on it if digit decides to incorporate it. Though, i agree with desertwind that maintainance will be hard and not so knowledgeable users like me won't be able to get much of an active part. I'm game for the idea. I feel it would be a good experience for us learners to learn from the gurus here if they can devote some time to this.

I have installed LFS,BLFS, and ALFS.
The prob is tht i haven't read any of them and i don't have all the latest pakages for it.

Well that's a very important question and our first consideration. Can some mods give some ideas on this please?
