A comment on Obarun – Arch Linux based distro with skarnet s6/66 suite.

If I want to make my own Linux-based OS, where do I start learning/practicing?

I already know how to install and use Arch, should I read and build Linux From Scratch or should I concentrate on understanding the kernel and the low level libs first?

What does this have to do with Obarun?

Why not start with Arch or Obarun. Very few other distros allow so much hacking and choice as arch (and arch-based).

To start an independent and autonomous distro you need to build a few thousand packages first. The wealth of Arch+AUR is nearly unbeatable.

LFS is good exercise but that is about it. Reinventing the wheel is not very sensible.
