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... ) 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
