Instalinux.com will probably be a favorite to many users up ahead. It is namely a site that let you configure a Linux installation after your own personal taste. At the moment you can chose to configure the following: CentOS 4.3, Debian 3.1, Fedora Core 3 to 5, SuSe 9.3, 10.0 and 10.1, plus Ubuntu Breezy, Dapper and Hoary, while the range of distributions is constantly growing. The guide is quite simple for anyone with the slightest knowledge or experience of installing a *nix OS and makes it possible to tailor your distribution after your precise requirements. A small catch is that the installation is network-based, but that should hardly be a problem in this broadband society of ours.
“During tests, Instalinux.com’s System-Designer made it easy for eWeek Labs to create network installer disks that were preconfigured with the software packages we wanted to install on our target system, along with the repository from which we wanted to fetch the packages and the _network information our new system would require to get online and reach the repository.”
