    If you really want to get a good understanding of the components of a Linux system, try building one from scratch [linuxfromscratch.org]. Plus, if you do what I've done a couple of times of turning each package into a .deb or .rpm, you will really understand exactly how to create a distribution.

    And for what it's worth, yes, my Gentoo-based systems have all been quite resilient.
