[Gllug] Survey

[Krishna Birth]

I would be grateful for answers to this survey, please number your
answers for relating them to the questions below.

This ( Linux User and Dev. Magazine #101 Build Your Own Distro
http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/magazine-issues/linux-user-developer-issue-101-is-on-sale-now/
) has choices for building your own distro.

For the ones that interested me it says:

susestudio.com is easy, polished, good documentation and web-based
though it's Suse only

instalinux.com has choice and is web-based though not polished interface

uck.sourceforge.net is easy though Ubuntu only, not customisable
look/feel and start from scratch approach to changes

geekconnection.org/remastersys is very flexible and copies environment
though Debian/Ubuntu only, not in Ubuntu yet and needs separate
installation

linuxfromscratch.org is flexible though requires manual steps

revisor.fedoraunity.org is easy and offers possibilities though Fedora only

revisor, how much time would be spent to remove all fonts and put 2
fonts perhaps bitmap one font also, the distro logo and a live,
installable, bootable media and downloadable distro?

10.  If a non-techie was to use susestudio, remastersys or revisor,
