I'm wanting to make a Linux Based Desktop from scratch .. can someone please tell me what i would need to make a powerful and Linux friendly desktop ?? I plan on using this for work and pleasure .. such as movies / music / documents and so on ... im open to different types of O/S of Linux ... my only requirement is that i need it to work with my Samsung LED TV .. it needs to be able to play video and audio through that. also any programs or desktop enviroments i would need to make life easier for work and just more fun to work with would be great ... Thank you in advance for your help :)

Just an after thought. If you want to learn how to create a Linux distro from scratch, try "Linux From Scratch".

If anything will show you how Linux distro's are built LFS will.
