Answer by inclusive_disjunction
There’s no real exact list of what you would need to create a “distribution.” To have a “working” Linux system, you only need:

- The Linux kernel
- A file system, such as a hard drive, floppy, or ramdisk
- A statically linked program at /sbin/init

A more functional system would also have:

- Device nodes in /dev
- An actual init program and scripts
- A swap partition or swap file
- A shell, such as Bash, ash, ksh, etc…
- Utilities such as ls, pwd, cp, mv, ps, mount, dmesg, ed (*snicker*), tail, etc…

I once had a 1-CD Linux distribution. I could boot from the CD and run the OS without installing it on the hard drive. It is very useful when you want to do some experiments in Linux but don’t want to mess up with all the (Windows) stuff on the hard drive. I forgot the name of the distribution. Can anybody tell me? Thanks!

it’s called Knoppix. go here: www.knoppix.org

There’s also a distribution of Linspire (which has a similar interface to windows) which can be run live but it is not free like knoppix.

Answer by Infernal Disaster
OpenSUSE, of all the distributions I’ve tried it seems to be the most polished and very flexible/configurable. It is easy enough for those who are new to Linux and offers a lot to those who are old to Linux.

Debian is also excellent and while not very polished, it is one of most versatile and can do just about thing you want it to do with its huge library of available software.

I want to do RHCE exam. Basically I am practicing Linux at home. As a result I have to install LINUX distributor, I tried to install Redhat enterprise linux 5 into my LAPTOP, but due to unknown error it stops working after udev checking. I heard that it caused because of nvidia graphics card, and RHEL has old Kernel version so its not able to detect my monitor. So is it possible to practice RCHE exam with openSUSE linux?
