If you can handle that, you can handle Linux From Scratch (www.linuxfromscratch.org). It's a complete step-by-step guide to acquiring and building the source for the whole enchilada. You piggyback a new build of the gcc and kernel environments onto your existing distro, then switch the boot loader over to your new install. I did it moving from RH 7.3 several years ago, and it was a breeze (it took two or three days of constant compiling, but it was easy). If somebody like me with no prior C experience can do it, anybody can do it. Now I have complete control over what goes into my system. There isn't a file on here that I didn't put there; my desktop has the bare minimum necessary to run the programs I choose and nothing more. -- Peter B.
