I don't think so. I think that's the definition of a *library*.

Let's say you want to build a boat. So you go to the library and you
dig through the thousands of books there until you find some on
carpentry, buoyancy principals and boat-building. You probably *can*
build a boat from this information, but that's not the purpose of
every book in the library.

A distribution would be more like going to an engineering college and
studying nautical engineering. Focused and dedicated to the task,
you'll probably produce a better boat in the end.
