Yeah. I did it on my desktop because that's where I had the space.
Unfortunately, twigging some of my hardware got to be annoying and that's why
I went back to Mandrake. I am an absolute suck about having to fart around
with hardware config, even though I'll edit system config files until the cows
come home. 

I'll tell you, though. Whenever I set up my server, I'm going the LFS
root--compile everything for maximum control and security. 

Anyway, you can't beat the experience. Having built a distro from the ground
up, you'll be much more confident when you approach any of the "packaged"
distributions.

P.S. If you really want to geek out, may I suggest getting a copy of
O'Reilly's Unix Power Tools. It ain't cheap but it walks you through almost
every aspect of a typical Unix os. You'll be programming sed fer gossakes!
