Like editing a hobbyist magazine and building your own boat, many people
feel obliged to do this once, to get the urge out of their systems.
Then they usually recover.

Back in 1991-92, it was the only option available.  It basically sucked.

But hey, you can do Linux from Scratch, SourceMage, Lunar Linux, Gentoo,
or even more warped things -- or do it the 1991 way with a few floppy 
images, a series of source tarballs, and a FAT partition to get the
whole process rolling.
