That's what I use since about 5 years, too, and basically I'm very satisfied with it. But a few month ago, I skrewed the gentoo package manager (don't ever delete /var/db/), but restoring was pretty easy. Backing up /etc and my $HOME, 12 hours of compilation time, and the system was as it was before again... The initial setup overhead is pretty big, though. One nice thing with gentoo is that they have a very helpful and responsive emacs crew. Another source distro you might want to have a look at is SourceMage GNU/Linux, which seems to be even a bit nearer to LFS. Bye, Tassilo
