Not at all Ubuntu related, but I was always impressed with the Linux 
from Scratch project.  It's a set of very clear instruction on every 
step you need to do to build your own linux system from source code.  I 
wouldn't advise using LFS for a actual 'to use' system, but as a 
learning exercise, the skills and ideas you learn (the hard way) will 
bring you very far for a long time.
