What are your thoughts (if you have any at all)?
I tried to build everything myself as well, when I started Linux back in
the last century. Took me a few months to realize that the work of all
those smart people building the distributions (even SuSE but especially
Debian) is too darn good to not make use of it. Have been a happy Debian
user ever since.
I've got not so pleasant memories of having to build something from
tarballs. Sawfish, maybe? That meant you had to build gtk from tarballs,
which meant you had to build its dependencies and so forth ad nauseum.
