Hi, I'm actually in the middle of the first LFS book, somwhere at the beginning of chapter 6. I appreciate the quality of the doc: everything is well explained, and I just have to follow the book.
Just out of curiousity... 1) LFS/BLFS... is it just a "learning distro"... or is there a way to use it as a full-blown everyday distro? E. g. write a few scripts to automate the install process, which would result in something similar to Gentoo Linux (minus the "can't emerge" and similar hassle:oD)? I don't mind if the install process takes two days (to compile everything on an old Pentium II), as long as the result is rock-solid. I *think* so, but I'd rather ask people who have gotten more into it. 2) What's the release cycle of stable LFS/BLFS (roughly)? I'm rather suspicious of bleeding edge (since I use GNU/Linux for everyday work), but I'd hate to wait for 3-4 years (like Debian stable). My (rough) idea for the future: put together two different versions of LFS according to my needs. One for server (without X), one for full-blown desktop. That possible?
