Comment Re:How different from Gentoo? (Score 1, Informative) 184
Gentoo is a source-based distro built for power users. It's designed for maximum usability; most of the installation process is automated. (LiveCD, bootstrap.sh, stage tarballs... it's all there so you can get up and running in a hurry.)
In contrast, Linux From Scratch is more designed for people who are interested in learning about the internals of a Linux system. There's no bootstrap.sh; you do everything by hand.
If you're looking for a kickass source distro with a minimum of hassle, use Gentoo. If you want to know the nitty gritty details of how a linux system works, check out LFS.
