03.03.2007 · I like Gentoo because it's a nice compromise between a raw LFS, and fixed distros like Debian, Fedora etc.. You do have to do a lot more hoop-jumping to do slightly odd things (Like compile php without the 9-million dependencies!), but the fact that you can do them, and still retain a sane package environment, is a big plus over full-package distros.
Gentoo is probably the closest thing to LFS when it comes to customizing. With Gentoo, you can compile your own kernel, install the display manager and ...

LFS > Gentoo > Slackware > Arch. Slack's installation is easier than Arch's, but the package manager makes you do a lot more. Edit: Many people are saying Gentoo should be after Slack. They have a point. Slackware's package management is much more minimal than Gentoo's. 35.
Similar to lfs, gentoo is also highly customizable. Unlike lfs, gentoo is a real distro. This means that gentoo has its own configuration tool and package ...
27.01.2004 · LFS vs. Gentoo. Okay, I know this sort of question gets asked of almost all the distro's out there, but I am curious about this comparison for the sake of 'really learning' Linux as opposed to simply getting it to run with minimal brian power.
Answer (1 of 5): Gentoo is probably the closest thing to LFS when it comes to customizing. With Gentoo, you can compile your own kernel, install the display manager and environment you want, boot loader you want, filesystem you want ect. You can use OpenRC ( oldie but goodie) or Systemd, Xorg or ...
LFS has no package manager, so you need to handle everything such as endless dependence, confusing compile errors. Gentoo has powerful portage, which makes everything easier. If you want to learn how linux works and be happy accept problems, use lfs. And if you just need a daily use system, use Gentoo.
you forgot Linux from scratch users that then install apt and flatpak and and rpm and bloat their system into oblivion ... More like Arch and Gentoo vs LFS.
