End goal would be the learning of how to do this and building my own linux
distro without being forced into one thing or another (i'm never happy with
something)  mostly learning and self reliance though.  I'm hoping it leads
to something much bigger but that's not a goal or expectation.  Then again,
i just love tinkering with stuff and with toddlers getting into everything
i currently don't have the space or ability to do my electronics projects
which leaves me going nuts without something to work on.

I've been using linux to some degree or form since the 486 was hot stuff so
it also seems like about time i learn what makes it tick. man i remember
getting a cyrix processor to replace my pentium thinking the increase in
mhz would be better but boy was i wrong!  k, enough of that. moving on to
newer things :)
