Using cannot be made easy until someone does a lot of indepth
configuration. None of the books provide that. Distros do. You can't get
from empty partition to a MOM machine in any sort of easy fashion with
LFS. Many of us have spent years tweaking and configuring until we have
things as we think they should be.
This is absolutely true. Just to say "I want a desktop machine with
GNOME" means nothing. You have to research how all the packages work
together, which dependencies are important to you, setting sane system
defaults, etc. Go grovel throw the specs at Fedora sometime and see
how much effort it is to get a working distro.
