[Klug-general] KLUG OS

Hi Peter

Time is not a factor, nor sanity as I can have a working Distro normally within a day.

If this was a wine or beer appreciation group then would it not be encouraged for members to "Home Brew"? after all, how can you really know how things work without knowing how they are made.

Yes, there are many Distros out there, some good, some bad, and they all have bugs. The suggestion is not to help the other Distros be better but to give a very basic base line on which to build knowledge. The reason is because not all Distros are alike so causes confusion when asking for help.

Anyway, if someone wants to show an interest in this then let me know and I will put something together and also document how I did it so we can all have a go.

Thanks

Stuart
