I've gone the other route, and installed Ubuntu on my desktop and have 
Fedora installed on my laptop!  And so far it's been running like a champ!

I agree that it's lighter, I want to actually get (yet
ANOTHER!) small 
desktop and dedicate it to trying out the alternate versions of some of 
the more well-known versions of Linux.....only because I'm not well 
versed enough to handle the "virtual machine" thingie....(and by my use 
fo the word "thingie" I show just how LITTLE I know!...LoL!)

Well, different strokes for different folks. :D I just thought Kubuntu might be 
a bit "lighter" and work better on a laptop...I'm more used to the tools
that 
come with Fedora so I always have to stop and think when I want to do 
something in *ubuntu. :D

I agree. That's why I switched from straight Ubuntu to KUbuntu on my  
laptop. On my desktop, I use Fedora, of course. :D

Jesus! I could see producing an ubuntu package to utterly
eradicate Unity from your ubuntu box, but deliberately
help to advance and perpetuate Unity? These people are the
spawn of Satan!

Here you go: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/

     Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides
     you with step-by-step instructions for building
     your own custom Linux system, entirely from source
     code.

See this thread
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-July/169992.html
on the devel list
<http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-July/thread.html>;.
Basically try it if you want but it's a bit of a mess (maybe give it a
go in a VM?).

Which is the worst thing anyone can do!....If you BUILD it.....then 
SUPPORT it! I only WISH I knew how to build my own version of Linux! I'd 
(of course!) test the heck out of it until I knew that every piece of 
hardware or software worked with it, or else I'd build my own 
"alternative" ....

don't expect anyone here to fix it if it breaks.  :-) :-)
