If i redesign the look of Linux will it become a separate distribution?
Right thanks for reading, if i redesign a Linux distribution i.e change slash screen, colours, change the apps that come with it, change the name etc. will it become a separate distribution that i could then offer to the public?
I think that we should be helping to improve the current mainstream projects, rather than creating hundreds of other smaller ones which do not differ sugnificantly.
The people who try to learn linux use LFS, those who try to get their names attached to a distro as their creators, make cosmetic changes to an existing one and call it a "new" distro.
That's what I think, anyway.
