Font used in logo is "Ubuntu" by Canonical

Hey everybody, I am quite accustomed to the Linux world and I thought it would be about time for me to start making my own Distro!

It is called EzySqueeze, and it is designed to be easy and fun to use. It is based on Ubuntu which makes it stable and reliable to use, and the interface is easy to learn for people who have already used Ubuntu

(I am going to post more information later  )

Nice!

Just wondering, what desktop environment are you using?

The desktop environment will be Unity or GNOME. Thanks for asking 

Yay, I like both of them(GNOME more). Maybe you could have 2 flavours or more?

No thank you. I can code my own website.
Also, for now I am keeping this a personal project

Progress Update: Finally got user desktop backgrounds changed and also changed the Unity Dash icon to the EzySqueeze logo.

I will definitely be using this 

If I could make a suggestion it would to be not to make it an Ubuntu distro because it is laggy on some devices (nowadays). I would go off of Linux Mint's source since it is really nice and the Cinnamon desktop is wonderful.

... Just saying, does not need to be changed if it would be too much...

so far you have only changed the graphics are you going to change the kernel at all?

I do not use the ubuntu source. I install and modify it.

No, the distro is going to stay as Ubuntu.

For those thinking my current progress is a load of rubbish, I have put a lot of effort in it so far. If you are going to expect me to be editing source in the second day of dev, it isn't happening.

I like the colour more than the default Ubuntu colour. Are you remastering Ubuntu?

In effect, yes, but in a full distribution scale.

What program are you using to remaster?

Ubuntu Builder, in my current plan. If I dont use Ubuntu Builder, I will use remastersys.

I tried UCK (Ubuntu Customisation Kit). Some things are a pain because I couldn't get the package manager (Synaptic) to work properly, so I used the terminal and apt-get instead. I might try and find my Ubuntu disc and install in VirtualBox. I don't have the latest version though.

I, so far have had to use terminal quite a lot.

Anyways, tiny update: Finally managed to change "Ubuntu Desktop" to say "EzySqueeze Desktop"

Just as I was getting into the project, the OS decided to kill itself. So I have to start again. No problem, I still have all the images.

What happened?
