From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

LFS: Not being so complicated actually. Arch: That a fully fletched OS install can be done in less than 10 minutes.
Isn't maintaining LFS a pain for the long run?
It is. Especially when you need the night to compile FF and it constantly fails. But I learned a lot.
LFS isn't a distro.
Then let's call my install 30p87OS, that was made from scratch. Now it's a distro.
Deal. :D Edit: Congratz BTW, that's a huge feat to create own distribution from LFS. My hats off!
