Or you could always try and get them to go with LFS. LOL.

LFS is a great learning tool, but unless you want to be creating your own 
distro, it's not something that you're going to want to be using normally. I 
did finish CLFS and get quite a ways through CBLFS on my way to a usably system 
(if nothing else so thatt I could say that I'd done it), but I gave up when I 
could never get gtk to build. It was a good learning experience, but it would 
never make sense to use that as my main system for any real length of time, 
even if I had managed to finish it.
