... and if you for some reason won't find DebianEdu useful please
please please just create a "pure blend" [1] of Debian, not another
"distro".
And before that, please consider merely "preseeding" installations
of unmodified Debian [2]. Really, there's no point in creating a custom
distro when you just want to preset certain settings and install a
bunch of software when rolling an OS onto a computer. If you want to
make available a number of software packages not present in Debian
proper (and may be install them by default) then just set up a custom
debian repository (see [3] for one example) and preseed your Debian
installation to add this repository to the installation media sources.
