Take into an account that I'm also quite a sick masochist, building all packages and running test suites for single each of them on Intel Celeron

whats so special about it
Consists of open source
Highly configurable as well as it's easier to configure due to config files being plain text (because Linux is a UNIX based system) and not regexp bits like in Windows. Lots of customization is avaiable due to that.
Full control over system.
Can be updated while being used unless update touches kernel
Has different filesystem
Although there are a lot of GUI related stuff such as desktop environments for linux, linux doesn't actually need them to work, working in linux usually doesn't rely on GUI; you can control your entire computer for a terminal, and if a bit effort given to get used to the terminal, controling your system through terminal becomes far more efficient and faster than through GUI.
Mainly used by programmers.

It took long on my Intel Celeron, about 4 days with breaks, but I seen people compile and build everything in about 5-10 hours on average. Also I was compiling it on my host linux, so while it was compiling I've been using host as usual. I also ran test suites whenever possible like a sick masochist I am.

So now I have the barebones minimal linux to which I can add stuff as I see fit which is pretty good.

There are also scripts to automate build process but I haven't looked into them.
i use arch btw
Nice, I heard from my friend that arch is pretty nice.
