I run lfs too, I like the sysv version. I like systemd also but I haven't 
figured out how to quiet the console.

I'm a gamer (old time games) so I build prboom-plus, quakespasm and ioQuake3 
and other things like that.

I have three machines that I installed lfs on. My desktop where I play the 
most, the BBS machine that just runs the BBS, and a laptop.

So far I have only installed on real hardware.

I was counted on lfs late last year or early this year.

I found lfs to be quite a project but it has been rewarding.

I've built a few things outside of blfs, but I don't remember what at the 
moment. Minicom, szrz, and modumu2k recently.
