Assumming you have a compiler, a LOT of time in your hands, that you don't care about TCO (remember your time is money), that you don't care much about security or have a lot of time for tracking security announces (you won't be getting automatic security fixes through RHN ans its equivalents), assumming you can no longer rely in a packaging system to keep track of what you have installed, assumming you and your users don't mind having to be extracareful about the mix between your vendors software and your unofficail upgrades (eg scripts who break because they get executed by bash instead of ksh), assumming, assumming, assuming. And I nearly forgot: assumming you have a boss who doesn't mind about it and about how you use your time
