Yo pensaba que las distros hacían todo menos el kernel.
Cita: A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system, window manager, and a desktop environment.
Osea que no se hace nada. Simplemente unos cuantos wallpapers, la ayuda y listo, ya tienes tu distro.
Así que el soporte lo deberían de dar Linus, sus amigos y los desarrolladores de KDE y GNOME, total, los que hacen los distros no hacen nada nuevo.
Cita: Before the first Linux distributions, a would-be Linux user was required to be something of a Unix expert, not only knowing what libraries and executables were needed to successfully get the system to boot and run, but also important details concerning configuration and placement of files in the system.
Linux distributions began to appear soon after the Linux kernel was first used by individuals outside the original Linux programmers. They were more interested in developing the operating system than in application programs, the user interface, or convenient packaging.
Interesante.
