Well, Im closer to becoming a distribution. PC/OS is wrapping up forartwork and functionality. If you have been lucky enough to get a copystay tuned. Im going to answer some questions here.* What users I dohave are all happy with the results thus far.
Why start your own distribution?
None of the distributions out there fit me. I would have to spend a couple of hours making the system fit.
Why XFCE and Xubuntu?
I decided not to double my work. I could utilize the Ubuntu systemwhere the developers would provide the updates and kernel fixes and Iwouldn’t have to spend what little free time debugging kernel code. Ichose XFCE because its very modular. For the server system XFCE went ona diet and I removed everything that wasn’t necessary on a serversystem and added server specific tools. This could also appeal to otherWindows Server and Netware users who want to use a GUI as well as command linetools. XFCE on a client desktop is a good desktop without the overheadof GNOME or KDE. Its got good basic tools and is very simple to modify.
