Yeah, what is the best distro for making your own distro of Linux. I know LFS, but is there anything easier?

Judging by the sheer number of Debian-based distros, it must be pretty good.

I think Zenwalk is something along the same lines.

I have just set up a basic install of Arch Linux. Very nice system with good documentation.

Why take a base? I currently have built it one on my own idea, sometimes w. a little help from the LFS project.

So, I should use LFS? I use a 2001 Sony VAIO notebook with a PIII 695MHz processor & 384 MB or RAM. Should i use LFS or Zenwalk?

Zenwalk is not like LFS, at all. Zenwalk is a distro based on Slackware Linux, and it's just optimized to run faster on certain cpu's and has just one application per task, thus making it a very light and sleek. LFS on the other hand, is about compiling your own distro from source code, wich is not that easy, but not impossible.

Just my two cents worth...
