This one has particular appeal to me.  Whilst I am somewhat cmofortable as a 
programmer, I alway feel insecure/threatened about sys admin stuff as well as 
ideas like compiling a kernel.  I think it is mainly because its to do with 
remebering lots of stuff, (which I'm not that good at) and also because its 
possible to get into places where I don't know how to get my system back to 
working order. (I couldn't even install octave without a major drama!)

With programming normaly the worst that happens is that the program doesn't 
work.  Its a logical situation that I can usually think my way out of, if I 
don't know the syntax or the idioms the appropriate algorithms I can usually 
look them up.

This ramble poses the questions, what resourses are there around to suport for 
someone learning how to build a kernel?
