LFS is the best distro imho, and a lot of hard unpaid work goes into it.
It does what no other distro achieves - it teaches people about linux.
The best features, however, are all carved off into specialities, and it
can become better. To my current knowledge

Archaic and his team have a hardened version.
Another team has automated the build process.
Yet another, no doubt, have instructions for 64bit cpus.
And another provide support for cross compiles.
No doubt there are omissions here also.
But if I want to combine these advantages, (i.e. build a hardened,
unicode, cross compiled version) I am on my own.
Are there any plans to merge any of these separate streams into the
main book? Unicode, particularly, must be the way of the future, like
IPV6 must be the way of the future, however badly they are being handled
now.
