It's a Nightmare... just imagine recompiling teTeX, XEmacs, GIMP
and a couple of other *big* packages... sources+.o during compilation
goes up to several hundreds of Kb. A distribution is good because
you ont need to recompile yourself the packages you trust or you
dont want to customize. If I can update spending less money, the
distribution is better that others (well debian is now better than
other, but lets make it perfect!).
Ciao.
