Interesting, my thought is opposite, that not much has changed - download, unzip, modify (optional), make menuconfig, make, make install, fix grub config, profit. :) EDIT: it is true however that someone has shown me the steps, I would have wasted a lot of time without their guidance.

Confirms my theory that I was not very bright in my younger years :) But I also had almost zero help when I first took on Linux, except manpages.
