Your Own Linux Distribution » Soft32.com News
That is the name of a Swiss project which will allow users to build customized Linux distributions
The Linux Community offers numerous Linux distributions for all tastes. From small, 50 MB, distributions to one-DVD installations, Linux comes in many different flavors and covers a wide number of features. With such a variety of flavors, users always find it difficult to choose the Linux distribution that fits their needs best.
There is no such thing as a perfect Linux distribution. No matter which one we choose we always find out that there is something else we need and has to be downloaded or there is something useless that is just taking up hard-disk space.
The team behind the Ark Linux project was confronted with lots of users asking for more features, thus violating the project’s policy of simplicity. As a response, the developers launched a completely new company called YOLD (Your Own Linux Distribution).
YOLD specializes in customizing Linux systems to customers’ needs - whatever those needs may be. “No matter whether you’re looking for a customized solution for your in-house desktops or servers, a Linux version to run on embedded devices, or a specially branded Linux distribution to be sold by your business, or a demo Live CD, YOLD can do it.” says the YOLD website.
The team charges about $81 per hour for development, but offers a 50% rebate if the customer chooses to release the work under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Also, a free offer is available for Open Source projects.
