             Nothing special but it is basically a set of instructions 
for creating Linux on a computer from
a zero starting point.   That means that you might learn a lot about 
GNU/Linux by using
those instructions.
         Funtoo Linux is basically the same sort of arrangement but 
aimed at using Gentoo
sources.

         M PCLinuxOS64 is a rolling release.  After I put do the basic 
install I add in a lot of
tools which I foolishly trust from long experience.  It also has a tool 
that would let me make
a bootable disk from my modified system.  So it is an easy way to create 
a custom distribution
with less effort and knowledge than the "Linux from Scratch" or "Funtoo"

     I doubt I will do anything like that at this point as keeping up 
with other matters
is taking up too much of my time and I enjoy writing more than i do 
reading the
distributed and applicable documents to use the tool.

     bliss
