It's the same stuff, just based on another system. If you have no prior coding knowledge (more than just some Plus! scripting) than I doubt you are ready to even attempt to modify an os, let alone build your own.
"Modifying" an APT based system is extremely easy. Repackaging it takes twenty minutes. I don't know how long it takes to customise the installer, but I'm willing to bet it doesn't take long either.

Exactly the same, just a different set of base packages (most likely fewer to remove). You can remove them quite easily. If you're clever, you can do that without even looking at the command line. It doesn't matter which you pick if you're only going to remove the DE.
was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.
