Thats almost what I do - however, I use Debian to bootstrap it. Get a minimal system going, then manually install stuff like a custom compiled kernel, sendmail, mimedefang, apache, mysql, etc. but keep using Debian for the back-end stuff to keep things like ssh patched, etc. It stems from admining various different system (Solaris, SunOs, H-PUX, etc) where I wanted the config files in a common place rather than where the vendor wanted to put them... These days I'm almost entirely Debian based, but still have the odd Solaris and RH box to look after...
