Making Your Own = Expert Hackers who have plenty of life cycles to spare.

Somewhere around here I have a disk with the Linux From Scratch that I
started many, many moons ago. :/ (Not that I'd claim to be an expert hacker
or anything though)...

BTW- I'm seeing a trend of Corporate America moving from RH and other
      'supported' distros to Debian as the staff (and Management) gets
      more comfortable with Linux. Debian package design and stability
      in a full production environment seem to be driving factors.

      Anyone else see the same?
