So, to use your analogy, I'm sitting in the car with the souped up engine, and it won't start, and I'm surrounded by mechanics saying "Yeah, but if it did run, it would be better."
Again, poor analogy. You don't install Linux everytime you want to use it. You don't mod it everytime you want to use it.
A better analogy is that you have a kit car and you have to build it. With the Ubuntu instructions, you couldn't figure it out from the parts you had. With the CentOS instructions, you could.
99.9% of users don't get a kit car, they get the car pre-built. So all they do is start it up. I.e., all you do is boot it up.
