Do you use a Linux distro or Windows / Mac? Or did you create your own distro? ;)

I created my own one many years ago… for fun. Now I use alternatively each of them, depending on the needs.

Creating a Linux distribution and using it on a daily basis requires a LOT of time and knowledge. It is very interesting to do as it teaches you how it works. The hard way. If you are interested, there is a project called LFS (Linux From Scratch) which is a book tutorial explaining the different steps, listing compatible program versions etc. It already makes it a lot easier, while staying quite hard.

I personally prefer Arch Linux, which is a good balance between the two.

LFS (Linux From Scratch) was the starting point from where my distro gone out. If you ever plan to build your own distro, I suggest you read the book “The C Language” by Kernighan & Ritchie, and/or “Data Structures in C” by Tenenbaum. These both helped me a lot during this particular exercise… Good Luck!
