How do I start a new Linux distro?

Have any of you ever started a Linux distro or played a major role in a distro?  I'm interested in starting a new
distro based on antiX Linux.  I just registered a project on Launchpad, but I'm not sure which license I
should use, and I don't see where on Launchpad I'm supposed to upload those big *.iso files.

You should talk to the guys behind RMSGnuLinux (try #rmsgnulinux on freenode).  I'm sure they would be
willing to answer any questions you have.  Just tell them trombonechamp sent you.

Re: How do I start a new Linux distro?

Is there an email address or forum?  If not, how do I contact them through freenode?

It takes a lot of work to deal with the package churn.

What is your mission statement?  How will it be different?

You can choose whatever license you want for the modules/scripts that
you _author_.  Everything else (kernel, libc, shells) has already set
licenses that you need to abide by.

To translate for you, "#rmsgnulinux on freenode" means "the channel
#rmsgnulinux on the freenode IRC network".

Finding the appropriate software and hostname to connect to freenode is
left as an exercise for the reader - figuring that part out for yourself
should be child's play compared to the process of rolling your own
distro.

OT: AMD Socket 754/939 needed

I am looking for an old AMD Socket 754 or Socket 939 motherboard/CPU. If anyone has one for sale, or is interested in parting with one please let me know. If anyone knows of a site that is reputable for selling old motherboards/CPUs like this that could help as well.  Alternatively if you have a PC that has socket 754/939 CPU that could work as well, although I primarily need just the mobo.

I think I have a 939 CPU, I need to check at home tonight. Let me know
if you still need it.

Cheers
