Just installed LFS the other day (Score 2, Interesting)

I learn't an awful lot doing this, but still have far more to learn yet. That's why I've begun trawling through Beyond LFS. The LFS documentation is very good. If you want to know more about a particular package read the INSTALL and README files after unpacking the file under /usr/src.

I haven't seen Gentoo so I cannot compare, but I can say I'm very chuffed to boot up my very own linux distro and to spend time building upon the LFS foundation (and all the time my understanding of linux grows too!).

Thanks to the LFS team for their efforts and respect to you all.................
