Is it possible to create an LMDE-based distribution?
Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2012 12:28 pm
Hi,
I have a (maybe) very naive question: is it possible to create a separate distro (similar to a Fedora Remix) off the LMDE base?
I not a huge fan of either GNOME Shell (although it is much better now), nor Cinnamon, nor MATE and have been really settling on XFCE for most of my desktops.
I would like to create a LMDE XFCE based distro with some changes (different menu structure without so much clutter, some changes to default applications, look and feel changes,
proper default power management settings, etc.)
Is that an easy or even possible thing to do?
Are there any developer docs that explain how to do it (similar to the Fedora Remix docs: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Remix)
Thanks!
Jacek
P.S. Many thanks to the LM team for their great work in light of Ubuntu's fumbles...you keep the Linux desktop dream alive
