U-lite Linux

I wanted something ubuntu-like in a DSL, puppy or tinyme package.

DSL does not have enough features for me.
Puppy is easy to remaster and use, but it is against my religion to be root all the time.
Tinyme seems to fit my bill, but it is based on PCLinuxOS.

In the sub-xubuntu world, u-lite and fluxbuntu seem to be the most prominent.

The fluxbuntu web site is lacking, so I tried u-lite despite its' lack of a installation CD.

I used some techniques for remastering ubuntu to u-lite, and was able to create a usable installation CD, and here are some very basic notes on how to create it.

1) Install u-lite following the instructions

2) Install remastersys

From a lxterminal
$ sudo cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/remastersys.list
#Remastersys
deb http://www.remastersys.klikit-linux.com/repository remastersys/
(Note: Cntrl-d to end file)

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install remastersys
$ sudo vi /etc/remastersys.conf
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
$ sudo reboot

3) Create iso defined in remastersys.conf

$ sudo su
# remastersys dist

go get some coffee.

4) Burn the iso to a CD

5) Boot CD, and type live or install at the boot prompt

Works great, less filling

I even installed usb-creator(from backports) to put it to a usb stick(though, I have not tested it yet).

I used to remaster ubuntu by hand, and kudos to Tony Brijeski for making it really easy with remastersys.
