The only limit are your requirements. 30 30 First, you select which packages you want. 1 25 A package is a piece of software: 0 25 The Linux kernel. 5 25 The GNU C Library (glibc). 5 25 The X.org X11 server. 5 25 The KDE Graphical User Interface. 5 25 About 1000 other applications are already packaged. 3 25 Next you can decide what kind of Linux solution you want: 0 30 A Desktop Distribution. 0 30 A LiveCD System. 0 30 Or Something entirely different. 0 80 Now, pull the switch to start creating your system! 15 30 This process takes some time. 0 30 And some more time. 0 60 And even some more time. 15 60 To speed up this process, you can have multiple computers work on your Linux Distribution. 16 60 ROCK is still under Amdahl's Law. 0 60 So this will speed up the whole process by about 40%. 60 60 Adding another two machines will speed up the whole process by another maybe 25%. 0 60 So you see that there is a limit to how many machines you should add to get meaningful speed improvements. 60 90 Suggested values are 16 machines at 500 MHz each, 8 machines at 1 GHz each and 4 machines at processing speeds larger than 2 GHz. 15 60 Your Distribution should be finished any second now. 15 30 There! It's done :-) 5 120 Now you can put your distribution onto a CD for everyone to install it!
