I'm interested in creating a Custom Debian Distribution for creative artists -- aspiring, amateur, and professional. I'd like some tools that are easy enough for kids and impatient adults, say Tux Paint, and others with enough headroom for professionals (Scribus, Blender, Lyx, Audacity).
Sounds nice.
But I've yet to find anything that gives me step-by-step recipe or sense of how challenging the task might be.
Have you ever read http://people.debian.org/~tille/cdd/ Section 7 describes "How to start a Custom Debian Distribution". You should definitely have a look at DeMuDi which just covers the audio part of your project. You might decide whether it is reasonable to include DeMuDi work into your project or just to concentrate onto the visual part and advise users to install your CDD and DeMuDi in parallel. If you understand a Custom Debian Distribution in the sense it is described in the paper it is perfectly possible to have more than one CDD installed on one computer (even if this is an often ignored fact inside this concept).
Anyone interested? Can anyone point me in the right direction? And if I take it on, anyone available to help me over the rough spots?
Just ask on the list debian-custom@lists.debian.org if something remains unclear in the paper. I'm keen on hearing suggestions for enhancement of this text. Moreover I would love if we could move this discussion to this list because it just deals with those issues and debian-project is just for general discussion.
