It is very interesting to hear from you, because I myself was planning to create a Linux distro, too, but with a few basic architectural changes. In fact, I created a few custom lfs (Linux from Scratch) distro's myself, in order to get familiar with the low-level workings of a GNU/Linux system. Most of the linux distro's available today are mostly the same, with only a few differences between them, and I wanted to introduce a few ideas which are currently floating around the Internet. In fact, if you are serious about creating a Linux distribution customised for Bangladeshi people, I think that I could help you with your project. Don't be worried about not being an "IT person", because there is no rule that only IT people can create their own distros. I myself do not have any professional "IT" education. Again, if you are still interested to create a custom Linux distribution, I think we should contact each other off-list to discuss this subject.
As for you, Mr. Shabab Mustafa, Chief Administrative Officer, Admin Office, CapsLock Corporates, I don't know what provoked your outburst, but I don't see anything in my post which has broken the Ubuntu Code of Conduct(http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct). Of course, if you disagree, you can point out which point I have broken and I will be happy to apologize, both to you and Mr. Miah M. Hussainuzzaman. But please remember that this mailing list is to _help_ people in Bangladesh who use Ubuntu, and therefore it is better to keep personal grudges and unrelated stuff off the list. I hope you don't take this message offensively, or anything. -- Saad M Niamatullah -- Ubuntu Bangladesh | http://ubuntu-bd.org ubuntu-bd@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bd
