I like LFS, and I think it's a good teaching tool, but probably most people on HN won't get much out of it. It's like building a car from a kit: You don't know why you're connecting the belt between generic oddly-shaped box A and generic oddly-shaped box B. I've thought about making an LFS where you use a bare kernel image and write a simple init process, with busybox as a backup.
