I'm entering a new dimension of geekdom

[Kingoftherings]

I'm gonna start building my own Linux distro.   

I'm gonna start out with Linux From Scratch.  Link:http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/

Discuss.

[Blaze-Senpai]

You're crazy.

[Title27GT]

It's gonna suck.

[Daddy]

is it gonna be not OS X linux with a dock and an aqua like interface

[guff]

wait i'm confused
are we supposed to list other complete wastes of time or what

[ncba93ivyase]

except you're not really building it from scratch and it's just like putting together a box of legos

Now if you build your own blocks and need no instructions, then you're building from scratch.

also, 'built/made from scratch' makes me think of chicken shit in a pot

[Feynman]

make sure you have the x window system to make linux more like windows

Yeah, I know I'm just following instructions, but if I can get this right, I should be able to build one without instructions.  I might need to refer back though to remember some of the bash commands and stuff.

How about building your own OS.

Then you won't have to deal with the crappiness of Windows and Linux or the price of a Mac.
