I am wondering if we need customized distros.
I don't think we need yet-another-distribution. Learning to improve
and develop the tools used to build, develop, maintain the existing
distributions is far more fruitful.
+1 to this. Creating a distribution is possibly a learning experience
in terms of package management, etc, but it would be far more useful
to learn to write and maintain software/applications. At the
beginner's level, a new package management system is a bit challenging
because lots of advanced concepts about security come into play.
