For those of you who don’t know, Linux From Scratch is a project that teaches you how to compile your own custom distro, with everything compiled from source code.

What was your experience like? Was it easier or harder than you expected? Do you run it as a daily driver or did you just do it for fun?

    Did gentoo stage 1 and used that to get through my college education learning to manage windows systems.

    It was neat. I feel like I will never need to do it again.

      Yeah I’ve done both LFS and Gentoo stage 1 before and it’s a fun learning exercise. Too bad the stage 1 isn’t a supported option anymore afaik.
