Does anyone have a recommendation for a distro they know has worked
for the latest stable as a host? I just fresh installed CentOS Linux

Fedora 28 I think it was as a host.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Bran,
When I bootstrap a new LFS system from scratch, I normally use Debian.
Debian 10 "Buster" works great for bootstrapping purposes. I will note
that I have a PowerMac G4 running Ubuntu LFS 16.04 LTS (I know it has
the same versions as normal 16.04), and the GCC is too old (gcc5 is
shipped with Ubuntu 16.04). I recommend Ubuntu 18.04 or higher if you're
going to be bootstrapping LFS 9.0 or higher.
TL;DR - I recommend Debian 10 "Buster", it works the best in my
experience (especially on x86_64 and i686).
