Never underestimate the power of stupidity and naievity, especially as projects like 'Linux from scratch' are getting popular.
FYO i built my system using linux from scratch and it runs better than the redhat 6.2,7.1,7.2 distributions (insert preferred dist) no core dumps AT ALL. my directorys are posixs standard and i know more about linux than someone who just puts in a cd and answers some questions and ends up with some flakey bloatware. a stupid or naieve person CANNOT install linux from scratch but they can from a redhat cd. everybody can drive a car but not everyone can fix or build one.
