The overall idea is good but I don't care for the layout. Instead, I
would say:
Your host system should have the following software with the minimum
versions indicated. This should not be an issue for most modern Linux
distributions.
And then just list the packages:
* Bash-2.05a
* Binutils-2.12
* Bzip2-1.0.2
* etc
Also, the sentence
This second option can also be seen as a gauge of your current Linux
skills. If this second requirement is too steep, then the LFS book will
not likely be much use to you at this time.
Seems a little harsh.
Finally, the section number is 4, but there is another 4 (Chapter 4).
This may be for manuel, but I'd number the sections in the preface i.,
ii., iii., iv., etc.
