linux-howto

http://crunchbanglinux.org – Hi everyone!I'm really glad to be joining the forum here. I've been using Ubuntu for a while and was looking for more of a technically challenging, easy to customize and light weight system which was based on Debian rather than Ubuntu getting the credit. Having researched a few kits to try and build a custom ISO like Nova-Builder etc I finally found out some genius had already done it :DSo far it's been working like a dream with no issues at all. I can only afford an older laptop for my dedicated Linux box but it runs really well. I'm not entirely sure where to give the fee (HowTos)

I want to build a Linux based OS which is custom made for only one application and is totally light-weight and uses minimum system resources. How do I go about this?

Would stripping down an already existing OS such as Ubuntu be a good idea?
