   Some people think it must be really complicated and take a lot of work   
   to create a new distro. It doesn’t, particularly if you just want to   
   do a few small tweaks on top of an existing distro.   
      
   Debian seems to have the best tools for making such offshoots easy to   
   create, which would be why it has spawned more of them than any other   
   “mother” distro ...
