You sound like a man in need of Slackware. You can do what you're
looking for with Debian, but Slackware forces you to. I don't know
the link off-hand, but it's certainly available from ftp.cdrom.com.
I opt for the easy life. There's plenty to learn in Linux as it is,
and I'd rather spend my time getting into package configuration issues
than installation ones. Each to their own though. Good luck with the
homebrew!
