    Developments are already underway for the sequel, "Return to the Gates of LFS". "LFS 3D" is planned in Q4 2004. It is rumored "LFS: Vice City" will follow.

    Nice try. Slackware is God's chosen distro, as all right-thinking people will agree :-) but LFS is a lot more work.

    So, in other words, you only use this if you want to claim to be l33ter than thou...anyone with an actual life uses Gentoo.

    Okay, I can see that.

    You get all the benefits of LFS with less headaches.

    err... may i suggest `man rm` to you? (after you check out `tar --help` of course...) becuase that is effectively what redhat's package management is doing. you dont need gcc lying around if you dont use anything else! (ok, granted you probably need cpp around if you install X, as it uses the cpp to preprocess a lot of its runtime configs... but cpp is tiny). you can have a web/email server running in less than 20MB; can you do THAT with redhat? (more importantly... would you want to? disk space nowadays is so cheap its not worth the hassle).

    on a more helpfull level, i point you to an absolute minimal LFS hint
