This is a message to those of you that obviously need it: we do not tolerate personal attacks on any of our members. A good many of you have tried to dissuade programmershous from doing this distro - why? I don't know. If nothing else, this will at least be a learning experience for him. Either join in to help or offer advice, or back off and let him do this - this project and the thread itself do not violate our rules but the responses do. So stop it now.

Thanks XavierP for bringing some order.

So now we can focuse on the subject : I found a small and nice distro : http://www.goosee.com/puppy/
It seems incredible, it is entirely loaded into the ram, extremly fast. I have to test it. It has many features and very light applis.
Anyone knows where I can find the sources for Puppy ?

I also didnt find the sources for DSL, 0sys. Anyone knows where to find them ?

I plan to do better anyway :
-improving linux (kernel) : removing all that is not intel specific ? simplifying memory management ? removing unused file systems etc ?
-maybe finding even lighter applications.
-etc.

What do you think ?

you need to take things one step at a time, start by making custom installation CDs of your favorite distros... then after that learn LFS and spend at least a few months on that... don't worry too much about what we want, it's YOUR distro so include what YOU want in it... if people like your distro they will use it, and if they don't well at least you acquired some new skills making it...
