'Tailoring' a distribution these days is easy. You can even do this using a
Web form, by selecting packages that you require and then downloading an
ISO. The days of compiling kernels are long over and the advantage of
customising and optimising a distribution to suit your needs is truly here
to be witnessed. It's all down to marketing, selecting the right packages,
updating them, ensuring no conflicts remain afloat, etc. That's why
companies with many developers crunch the bugs most effectively and commit
changes back to the pertinent projects, from which everyone gains. I love
it!
Best wishes,
