Linux From Scratch: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/

Goes through building a Linux system from the ground up, and gives a pretty thorough overview of why everything is working the way that it is.

Any idea about how long this would take from start to finish for someone who has a bit of experience using Linux and higher-level programming languages?

If you're just doing basic LFS packages and don't come up on any hitches, You should be done in 24 - 48 hours
