I've built both Gentoo and LFS. A side by side comparison comes up
pretty much
equal. Except for documentation, where Gentoo wins hands down. IMO

Hi Joe,
What about the LFS community - did you find it helpful?
Of course, the answer is probably objective. Developer types may not
have to rely so much on community whereas those who have the great
capacity to take forever to understand the point, like myself,
require a good community.
Also, I agree with you that the Gentoo documentation (most of it) is
excellent; I've printed, and have read most of it.
One more question, and it's the most obvious. You said that Gentoo
and LFS are more or less equal. So, that begs the question: what
persuaded you to stick with Gentoo?
Thanks ,
Paul
