You have heard about how Fedora has built an infrastructure to allow very easily to create "spins", what do you think that has been built for ? >From another email: > If free software distribution was really about sharing instead of > providing a complex base to sell support and services, I think > something like this would have been done long ago." Can you spare us this ridiculous rhetoric ? Fedora is now built to make it easy to build spins. Just publishing a list of packages and let it die in oblivion is not going to help anybody. An expert willing to help others can instead build a spin and really benefit other people, by providing them with a targeted distribution without caring about packaging, but just about how to select and put together packages and making sure you can build an installable system, which is what your are asking for.
