That is a strange question. I guess the answer is 'Yes' It depends on what you want to be changed in your new version. For example, I would guess that you would take an interest in making your own user environment/interface. Well, that would involve doing stuff from X11 most likely and most probably more of configuration changes than code changes. Then there is a whole long list of things people want added/fixed/ modified on the system. You might want to check that out for ideas. Probably you need to learn a lot more about the existing system before you go to making a custom version. ////jerry > > Regards, > Stefanus > > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Christer Solskogen <christer.solskogen@gmail.com> > To: Stefan N <stefanbsdfan@yahoo.com> > Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Sent: Mon, April 11, 2011 7:51:50 PM > Subject: Re: Question : Developing/Making FreeBSD derivative. > > On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 6:44 AM, Stefan N <stefanbsdfan@yahoo.com> wrote: > > My name is Stefan and I am newbie with FreeBSD but I'm interested to learn > more > > about FreeBSD .
