I just downloaded a ubuntu minimal cd and installed it and everything, my goal is to create a super lightweight distro based on ubuntu with openbox, slim, conky, almost like crunchbang linux.. So how would i go about creating my own distro from my minimal install? Do i need to install synaptic package manager? (Ubuntu 10.04 is the best! Just a little too heavy for my netbook !)

And Is there a way to delete one Linux distro in order to replace it with say, Arch or Kubuntu Linux?I'm a little bit interested in Kubuntu and Arch more than Ubuntu basically but need to know if they're going to be hard to get accustomed to or not.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIf you really want to learn C/C++, get set up on a Linux box with a full gcc dev system. I fixed up an old P4 Machine with 2gig ram and 80gig HD to install Linux on. Don't know anything about Linux yet but installing several distros for evaluation, but a thought occured to me. Is there a particular distro that has this "full gcc dev system" in the initial install or is this something that I will have to install after the OS is up and running on the machine? Is one distro better suited for programming than another?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a problem about how to map or mount the whole developing environment remotely?
For example,There is a server A (CentOS) which I have got a normal user name and password but no root control.And my desktop B (Opensuse) which I've got the root authority.Normally, when I do some software developing, I use SSH to login to A. All the developing environment are installed on A, e.g. libraries, PATH, makefile, etc.However, there is a waste of my machine B, because all the test, debugging are performed on A.
I know that sshfs can map a path to local remotely. May I ask if there is a method to map or mount the whole working environment from A to B please?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have started reading book Linux Device Drivers 3rd edition. So I want to know which is the best light weight distribution to use so that learning can be more generic and also does not involve distro specific nitty-gritty details. I have already tried building kernel for Ubuntu 10.04 but it involved different commands from what is mentioned in the book. So I am not sure whether I would be able to make further in the book. Has anybody tried?

I have 2 questions... I couldn't find answers by Googling (more precisely, by Blackling) and in GCC documents, so I'm asking here.
1. There are 2 flags for position independent code, -fpic and -fPIC. All the examples I read use -fPIC... so when is -fpic useful and what is the difference?
2. Some tutorials use "g++ -shared" while others use "ld" for the creation of the shared library. Why? Does it matter which method I use? Is there a difference? Why does nobody mention both options?
