LEARNING PATH
You have been learning about Arch Linux and ArcoLinux. At some point in time you may wish to build your own distro/iso and start building it up from scratch. That is phase 8.
We advise you to start in the menu “Start here” and work your way down the menu.

Each month we will try to make another step in order to develop our own distro.
