[CLUE-Cert] building a distro

[David Anselmi]

My two cents, if you care.  I'm still hoping to make it to your meetings 
someday.

Would dpkg be easier than rpm?  The Debian source packages can easily be 
built into debs (providing an example) and there are several developer 
docs that might help get over the "build your first package" hurdle.

I'm probably out of touch with the other issues so I won't comment.  Is 
your goal to build something that is similar to Red Hat and Debian 
(i.e., in common use) or something else?
