I agree 100%. I had no intention of replacing there
name with my dist name everywhere. I am only
interested in changing it where it pops up like when
you log on and also in the boot sequence, and in a few
other places. Most of the packages are downloaded off
the net (ie created either by Redhat or others). I
have no intention of defacing packages to make it look
like I created them. At the present time what I am
working on is mostly a patch work dist which contains
alot of updates and some packages have been removed
which I don't use, I've also made slight changes to a
couple of the scripts in the initscripts package. I
don't plan at the moment to distribute this on the
internet, its just for me at the moment. But I don't
want to accidentally change something that will make
me look bad later on down the road if I deside to make
the dist available for download.

I agree 100%!
