Hi Brian and Stuart,
I am 14 and have been using Ubuntu for quite some time. But I am bit tired of the constraints. I have tried modding the look and feel and also installed derivatives (Kubuntu, Mint, and so on), but I quickly got bored of all that, too.
What I really want to do is build my own Linux system from scratch. Any advice on how to go about this and where I should start.
