Tutorial : How to build your own Distro Linux

This is the steps to make your own Distro Linux in easy way. I used Porteus Wizard because it helps me a lot to make my own operating system, it has very simple interface and catchy look, so I can understand it easier. 

STEP 1 :

Open your browser and make sure you already linked to http://build.porteus.org/. This is the official website of Porteus Wizard :

Pick your system architecture based on your computer type system. I choose 32BIT.

STEP 2 :

Select your system type, if you want your operating system has a partition on its data storage, choose EFI, if not, just select default.
Select your boot mode : Graphic User Interface or Text                                                                                                             
Choose your desktop, here’s the choices :

1.       KDE4 known for its plasma desktop, provide basic desktop functions and applications for daily needs of an end-user as well as tools and documentation for developers to write stand-alone applications for the system

2.      LXQt  is a desktop built on Qt which partly uses Razor-qt and LXDE components.

3.      MATE aims to preserve the classic desktop metaphor

4.      Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment. It aims to be fast and low on system resources, while still being visually appealing and user-friendly. 

I choose MATE because of its classical desktop interface.

STEP 3 :
Setting your own operating system : Timezone, UTC Support, Keyboard Layout and Sound Volume. It based on what you want to customize your operating system.

I choose UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) to be more worldwide

STEP 4 : 
Click 'Advanced options' there already explanation there, so you don't have to worry if you don't understand what you have to choose. I choose Guest to set user who will be logged in to my GUI distro linux. If you want to set password to guarantee your security, you can set it.

STEP 5 :
Customize it further, once again, this is the benefit by using Proteus Wizard, it is easy to understand because you can easily find the explanation in every step. Choose what you want to keep in your operating system settings. Just click enable 

STEP 6 : 

Here is the modules, select your web browser, word processor (like microsoft office word in windows), VoIP client (Voice over Internet Protocol is a technology that allows you to make voice calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line) in here, we can use Skype, and eventually Development Tools that compatible to your own operating system. Just pick your own settings, my own use Google Chrome, AbiWord, Skype and enable any development tools.

STEP 7 :

Finally this is the last step. Choose your video card driver, it required when using heavy graphics functions such as playing video games etc. I choose nVidia Current 340.x. because it is very common. You can choose AMD or Open Source Drivers if you want a different function and ability on your own distro linux. Don't forget to make sure your own operating sistem has printing support. Then, click BUILD.

STEP 8 :
You do not have to wait for any longer, you can directly download your own Distro Linux!

This is the result in the end. Use Virtual Machine to try your own Distro linux. You can use virtual box or vmware. I try it on virtual box :

Just click continue afterwards

Select setting, and storage. And put your operating sistem in iso format. Select 'OK' and then START.

The interface of my own Distro Linux :

Google Chrome can be used :
