    I am planning on building my own linux distro, using the guides from Linux From Scratch[^]. Why? Because I can. So there.

    I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image. Stephen Hawking

          I've done that. Got partially through adding a window manager before I gave up (my graphics card refused to initialize properly with it...but it was brand new at the time, might have better luck now).

            Personally i would follow KISS in terms of philosophy, apps, DE, etc. As well as think about optimizing kernel modules. Overall, ill try to achive minimal size of the ISO.

              cool! I was going to do that, and ended up using Gentoo instead. It was "cool" among my friends at the time, so it got the final vote over LFS.

              If it moves, compile it

                If it's for handling lots of hidden microphones and cameras, Sinux. If it's for handling hidden microphones and cameras in bedrooms, Venux. If it's just for lazy days, surfing the Internet, Hammux. If it's for use with adobe apps, Bollux. If it's to be a db server for Israeli recipes, Hummux. ... For fast-food recipes, Reflux. For national infrastructure CAD, Tarmux. etc.

                  I hope you have a lot of fun, but more importantly I hope you learn a lot! I have gone through several editions of the book compiling various combinations and following the extra guides on security (BLFS) etc. Try to change some of the build options once you are confident, because as much as people say you can't the guy from slackware makes all changes himself (or he did at one point).

                    I love your justification: "Because I can." Perfectly relevant. Have fun with your Scracciatella.

                        Did this in ancient times. Was an extremely useful learning experience. But IMO, given the complexity of current Linux distros, it makes sense only if you don't find something more useful to do, and have absolutely no clue about how Linux works. Otherwise, you're better off digging into particularities of one specific app/daemon/system/whatever it is you're interested in - you'll never be able to learn and keep up with all changes in every little bit of the system you use.
