Easiest way to create a custom linux distribution

I did see this post:

And wanted to know if there is a new process for this?

Also I wanted to know if I could pre-install select packages?

Say I want a LAMP server but with PostgreSQL instead of MySQL and I want several Python packages as well as some custom code.

I think Ubuntu would be my choice for the OS if that makes a difference.

Looking for:

  • tools
  • tutorials
  • any help at all...

Thanks in advance.

BTW This would be my first attempt at something like this

linux ubuntu live-cd distribution

  1. I think a good start to any such endeavor is completing this project right here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/


    After doing so, most of your questions will be answered.

  2. You want the easiest way?

    http://susestudio.com/

    It lets you create custom Linux VM/live-cd/live-usb through a web browser (and even run them). I'm not a suse user, but I was very impressed when I saw this in action for the first time!
