Maybe you should ask yourself what you want from your system.
Good advice.
Thanks. I'm quite proud of myself ;)
I've been using SVN version for the last dozen builds, and there's
been no major issues with it. Of course, I don't have any critical
production system running here, in which case I would definately not
recommend any SVN version.
If you have a truly critical production system you should probably be
using a distro from a reputable vendor (Red Hat?) with paid support.
I guess you're right about that..
However I think there are a lot of LFS users running stable production
systems with it - it would be mighty interesting to know who, what and
why, though. I just build my SOHO's with it, and I'm a retired old
chap.
I've also built all of my home networked computers with LFS, which
includes 3 servers and 3 workstations for the moment. The only thing
that's been able to stop the servers, is the rare brownout. (That's
actually last night) Before that, they've been running 3 months straight
without reboot or failures since I built them. :)
Of course, they're in a friendly network, so I haven't stress-tested
anything, and security could be a lot better, but that's just my
knowledge lacking a bit. At least I've built it all myself, and only got
myself to blame if something blows up in my face ;)
I don't see any problem using LFS in a critical system, but the user
should have enough knowledge to make it safe. I'm working on gaining
that knowledge, so I guess I'll be ready in about ten years time.. ;)
