lfs (linux from scratch) is slightly different from rolling out your own
distro. When u roll out your own distro, u wud be taking care of things
like packaging, compatiblity, installers, etc.. with lfs u r basically
making a linux system for yourself w/o using a ready made distro.
Now comming to your idea of rolling out your own distro. If u r really
serious, then i wud suggest that first u shud try and get some idea of what
all u can do when u roll out a new distro. Try to first study the popular
distros that are available.. slackware, gentoo, red hat, mandrake and debian
wud be a good mix of distros that u can try out. Then u wud like to try to
modify these distros to first include things like simple updates, etc.. and
move on to more complex tasks as u get more idea abt linux distros. Also
note that rolling out a new distro takes a lot of work and effort, so don't
expect to come up with your own distro overnight.

PS: I still feel that there are enough linux distros to take care of 99% of
your unique needs, provided u modify any of the distros a bit. For the last
1% u can always use lfs!
