Just start to try it out on your own. Build some packages, see their optional dependencies and so on. After setting it up you may see what you will miss or you have installed useless. I would suggest any "watching tool" which watches the directories you specified. The book recommends some of those, i use GIT (Guarded Installation Tool) for myself. You can find it here: http://home.wtal.de/ib/freisoft/ (I suggest installing the directory-watching-tool of your choice first, due to having it easier to delete and update stuff later on, if it's your first blfs experience).
