From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Currently what's the best way to create your "spin" or remix of a Linux distribution? It doesn't matter which distribution it uses as a base. I just want to be able to 1.add and remove packages 2.be able to change deault settings easily.

I don't know what you're trying to do but the easiest thing would be a bash script you would run after installation which does everything you want to change if it's just some setting and packages

I want to make a custom distribution for a specific audience group with a custom selection of packages, themes and bookmarks.
