is it possible to obtain a branded (personal) linux distribution ? what have I do ? Or does exist a tool that do it?

What exactly do you mean by a "branded (personal) linux distribution"?

You could try building your own distro with something like "Linux From Scratch".

Or you could do what I did, install a "minimal" redhat install, and compile everything yourself over that. It saves time, and you also have your "own" system, with everything where you want it to be... Or you could compile the entire system yourself from your current distro. You will first have to compile statically, then use the new static system to compile everything dynamically (shared libs). This is what "Linux From Scratch" explains I think. I prefer using BSD-style init scripts (like the slackware ones) over the sysv-style ones provided with redhat. You can write your own initscripts to work with the sysv "INIT" program, even BSD-style ones. Just make sure your /etc/inittab is matching. It really isn't that difficult.

If you have broadband, you could also go for gentoo which downloads and compiles everything from source....

Audiophile, why didn't you start with Slackware for a base? massi_milano, Gentoo-based fb-livecd is good for making a custom live CD distro if that's what you want. Otherwise I agree with 3Dave and Audiophile.

I started with redhat coz thats what I had. I have limited bandwidth for my net connection. Anyway, All I used from redhat was the basic GNU binaries, ie bash, shell-utils, file-utils, and GCC (for compiling my own GCC), the filesystem progs etc. Everything in /etc, including the bootscripts are my own so It doesn't matter what distro I used "then". I also think its better to have a /usr/home symlinked to /home, like FreeBSD has... All the system stuff is in /, normal programs are in /usr, and large suites (with lots of executables) are in a subdirectory in /opt, which makes it easy to remove it if I want to... I use udev (with hotplug) to manage my /dev, which I think is better than devfs (which is broken in the 2.6 kernels). I've set the root's crontab to unload unused modules every minute. The new module-init-tools can't do an "rmmod -a" so I have: modules=`cut -d " " -f -1 /proc/modules` && for module in `echo $modules`; do /sbin/modprobe -r $module >/dev/null 2>&1; done I use fluxbox as window manager, even though I have a P4 machine, I use Mutt with my own perl script which fetches mail from my IMAP server, and I use mozilla for browsing, and "emelfm" as a GUI file manager (I do find it convenient some times). Works great :)
