How can I build a Linux Distro?

Q. I have downloaded the latest stable kernel. How can I make a linux distro from scratch? What do I need?

A. Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with step-by-step instructions for building your own custom Linux system, entirely from source code.

Alternatively, you can easily customize your own Slax linux live right from your browser. If you are new to Linux you probably want to start with something like that.

What would be my best choice for a linux distro?
Q. i have a dell inspiron 1525. what would be my best choice for a linux distro? could someone maybe point me to a website with the most amount of info on the subject? i'm new to linux and would definately want to learn more about it.

A. I'd suggest Ubuntu or Linuxmint.

http://www.linuxmint.com/

Ubuntu ought to be the best linux distro around.

Linuxmint is easier on beginner who just make transition from windows to linux

Well, i don't want to stuff you with bunch of confusing information.

Just download the image file from the web-site. Burn it onto a blank CD and boot live from it (it means you get to use it without messing up anything)

For ubuntu, you can try WUBI if you're afraid of repartitioning and mess up everything

Have fun exploring the best operating systems on earth
