Seeking a New Home for Linux From Scratch?

Posted by Cliff on from the any-good-port-in-the-storm dept.

Any Web Loco asks: "Linux From Scratch is in trouble. According to this explanation by Gerard Beekmans (the guy who started the LFS project) Shadowfax, the main LFS server, went offline at the end of October when VA Software ceased providing co-location space. LFS is a seriously geek-worthy project - might some of you Slashdot folk be able to help?"

    It would seem logical for some other distribution to host this effort. While on the surface, this would appear to be a competitor, projects like this attract the hackers who will fix and enhance system utilities, resulting in better software for everyone; something clearly benefiting the mainstream distributions. The community good will alone should be worth the cost.
