Shouldn't it be Gentoo or Arch ?
I went through LFS' build process three times. By the third time, I felt like I might actually have a clue as to what's going on. Then I tried build X.org, and discovered what package managers are for. Tried a few "standard" distributions with their binary packages, none of which satisfied my newly discovered control freak tendencies. Ended up settling on Gentoo, been with it ever since.
The meme is definitely LFS.
I was a Gentoo user from 2004 up until last year, when I found my secondary driver in a soft-bricked state due to me not having done any updates on it for about half+ a year.
Switched to Arch Linux and haven't looked back since. Sure, it will also throw a soft brick at me if I ignore/forget to upgrade, but one of the reasons I refrained from doing it on Gentoo was the compilaton time...
