Same, I used LFS for a couple months in college until I got annoyed about manual updates and switched to Gentoo. And back in those days you had to do it on actual hardware, not a VM. I had a job interviewer at the time who asked which Linux distro I used, and it was fun to tell them about that. I would definitely recommend going through LFS to anyone maintaining Linux systems, it really helps you understand how things work.
