I've been interested in LFS, but never gotten around to it. I think it would look good on a resume if you're applying for the right job. :) I know Linux/car analogies are a bit over-used, but I'm pretty sure LFS would be like building your hotrod from the ground up. You probably wouldn't be willing to ride in my bolt bucket, but all the fun is in building it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
