Hi Laurie,
thanks for the feedback. I agree with what you say. Many of the Linux Distros tend to assume that you want the lot in some shape or form (reminds me of the old saying about IBM's MVS - the OS that did everything and very little else! :o) ). As a dyed in the wool control freak I do resent not knowing just what's going on inside the OS I'm running (but that's probably just normal paranioa after years of using MS Windows :o) ).
I agree that in a commercial environment LFS is probably not the right tool. I picked LFS to help me fill in the gaps in my Unix knowhow. However thanks for the tip about gentoo, I'll take a look (as soon as I get some time! :o) ).
