If so, how much work did it take and was > the effort worth it in the long run, were there any shortcomings ? I have used LFS several times in the last 20 years. In most of the cases, just to cross-compile for another machine for which any other distro would have been just too much. LFS is a great way of learning how a Linux system works under the hood. Once you learn stuff from LFS, you can customise almost anything in almost any distro for almost any personal use case. However, I think LFS it's not a particularly good solution for everyday use, but this depends a lot on what is your definition of "everyday use". You'd probably better suited with something like gentoo or Slackware, maybe (but they are both using initramfs in their default installs, AFAIK :P). Or learn from LFS and continue using Devuan with your personal tweaks :) My2Cents KatolaZ -- [ ~.,_ Enzo Nicosia aka KatolaZ - Devuan -- Freaknet Medialab ] [ "+. katolaz [at] freaknet.org --- katolaz [at] yahoo.it ] [ @) http://kalos.mine.nu --- Devuan GNU + Linux User ] [ @@) http://maths.qmul.ac.uk/~vnicosia -- GPG: 0B5F062F ] [ (@@@) Twitter: @KatolaZ - skype: katolaz -- github: KatolaZ ]
