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.
