Hi,
Like a lot of people out there I have what is probably considered (DD)ADD (Desktop/Distro;) For a time I've downloaded each major release and found them to be lacking in some area. For the better part of this year I've been using (B)LFS inspired systems. Admittedly, my first build was in the summer of 2006 and it was by rote. I was counted sometime after and have LFS ID 18910 for version 6.2. LFS has been, without a doubt, the most educational experience I have had. I cannot think of another project which could expose anyone with no experience to so much, and so quickly, in such a painless, results based way. It's empowering. My current system is based off SVN-20080711 with perl 5.10.0 and linux-2.6.26.5, with much reference to the BLFS instructions. I still have lots to learn and I have no doubt that (B)LFS will be there with me every step of the way. Thanks (B)LFS and anyone who has contributed - This is THE project that comes to mind when I think free software!
