hm, I've added a definition to the wiki: A Custom Debian Distribution (CDD) is a version of Debian that is tailored for a particular situation/target group out-of-the-box. Any changes necessary to Debian to support this particular situation/target group arge merged back into Debian whenever possible, improving Debian as a whole. - -- Cheers, cobaco 1.
