Unix & Linux Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users of Linux, FreeBSD and other Un*x-like operating systems.. It's 100% free, no registration required.

I'd like to build my own operating system (really just the Ubuntu distro as I know the task is difficult) But what I mean by this is I wish to build atop of the Ubuntu operating system as like Apple has done with OS X building it atop of UNIX. I would like to do the same thing with a distribution of Ubuntu Linux except my business would be in control of everything, instead of Canonical Ltd. I'd appreciate and respect your answers on is this possible and how or maybe links to how to go about doing it. This question is different from just an Ubuntu Live CD because I don't want to create an almost entirely different OS then Ubuntu. In fact that is why I say that "I'd like to build my own operating system". Thanks in advance!

you can refer this link linuxfromscratch.org – Rahul Patil Mar 6 at 7:20
If you want to do that your base has to be Debian - not Ubuntu (like Ubuntu has built up from Debian). – Nils Mar 6 at 9:50

Your question is quite inconsistent. You want to build a completely different system, but almost equal to Ubuntu. And to boot you want to build a whole business separate from Canonical, completely controlling this. Please make up your mind, and break up your question into individually answerable pieces.

Also check on the licenses under which the pieces of Ubuntu (and the other Linx distributions) are to be used. You will see that complete control, like Apple has, is completely out of the question for such a system. And consider Apple did pour vast resources into creating the system they currently distribute.
