LFS is no help creating a new Linux distribution. Rather, it guides you though building a Linux installation on your computer. In that sense, LFS is a distribution. Yes, it could be a (rather odd) base for a new distribution, but you would definitely have better luck if you choose, say, Debian, Slackware or Arch as the base. In general, what differentiates Linux distributions is, for the most part, package management, installation/configuration process, and the default theme. A brand new, original distribution would have to say something new about some of those, and LFS would be no help there - perhaps, other than just giving you an experience of building and running Linux and some GNU software, well, from scratch.
