this is what i want to know,....in what ways LFS and Gentoo are
different?..both are building linux from scratch giving plenty of
customization and optimization choices.....
I suppose the websites of both distros will be able to give you an idea of
how different they are. And of course the best way to get an in-depth
understanding... try at least one install and play around with it! :)
Have you considered that perhaps Gentoo might be what you want? :)
i will ask u the same question to the people out there.........when
will u think that perhaps Gentoo might be what you want?...
I have used Linux for many years. I know what I want. No one distribution
satisfies all my needs, so it ends up that I use LFS for some work, Fedora
Core for others, and even commercial UNIX-based appliances too. Gentoo
crossed my radar screens before... but I chose to go with LFS after some
limited experience. I don't rule out ever moving to Gentoo of course.
Needs change :)
My suggestion... if you've shortlisted Gentoo as a "can consider" distro,
give it a whirl. Maybe LFS + emerge might be the way, who knows :)
