Try to make a LFS system (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/). Should be fun enough.

Well to be honest a year back I had tried it :) some how had to stop it in between other than that I do not have a separate machine to test all that I have only my laptop on which I do have Ubuntu but then there is some important data also with me which I can not afford to loose so any virtualization on Ubuntu should help me I do not wish to do experiments on my laptop its not possible for me to do them right now on laptop.

Start with the excellent online book: Linux Device Drivers (now in 3rd edition).
