Hi Joe, |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
What about the LFS community - did you find it helpful? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Of course, the answer is probably objective. Developer types may not |
| 36 |
have to rely so much on community whereas those who have the great |
| 37 |
capacity to take forever to understand the point, like myself, |
| 38 |
require a good community. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Also, I agree with you that the Gentoo documentation (most of it) is |
| 41 |
excellent; I've printed, and have read most of it. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
One more question, and it's the most obvious. You said that Gentoo |
| 44 |
and LFS are more or less equal. So, that begs the question: what |
| 45 |
persuaded you to stick with Gentoo? |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Thanks , |

Paul |
