Creating a Linux distro is a fairly involved task, which is why it is usually done by teams and not individuals. Assuming you were to create your own from scratch, you would need to compile a Linux kernel and related programs, and write your own init scripts. Try compiling just the Linux kernel, and you'll see why few people bother to build the entire thing themselves. It would be far too difficult to remain current with most software packages.
If you want to distribute it to other people, you'll also need to figure out things like warranty, support, and update management.
LFS (Linux from Scratch) is an excellent guide on building a very basic Linux distro yourself, and learning what is involved in the process.
For a simpler process that does not require too much time or programming knowledge, look into creating a distro based on an existing one. Many distros offer automated or semi-automated tools to help you do so.
I don't think so.
Whichever distro you're most comfortable with.
Linux Mint to learn. Ubuntu for gamers/programmers & Kali Linux for penetration testers and hackers.
quicker answer is which linux distro does not work? Pretty much all will work
That depends on what steps you used in the installation program.
"Types" of Linux are Called Linux Distributions. Linux by itself is only a kernel, you need more than that for a full system, to get this, distro's were develpoed to include all of this to make a Linux system easier to install. Popular Distro's Are Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, RHEL, Linux Mint, Arch Linux, OpenSUSE, etc, you can find more at distrowatch
Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat, Suse, ...
Linux can run with virtually any hardware configuration, but it is best to check the system requirements for your Linux distro.
As 'Linux' is actually the Linux Kernel and a bunch of other tools packaged together as a distro, this will depend on the distro you use. For example, Red Hat Linux uses a file called ks.cfg (known as kickstart) which contains information for it's installer system called Anaconda.
A Linux distribution, known as distro or flavor, is an operating system that uses the Linux Kernel. I think the most common one is Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is a "distro" of the Linux operating system.
Kernel, but I guess when you will learn, you will have to switch (Ubuntu for programmers and gamers and Kali Linux for penetration testers and hackers)
