Gerard, I came across and built my first LFS system in early 2001 after having been a Unix (AIX) user and administrator since 1988. In a very short time after getting my first LFS box running, things that would have been very intimidating before became child's play. Early in 2002 I set up my third LFS box and it is still in continuous use today. Aside from the education value, it is my favorite distro for server use. I think that it would be great for some college to offer a class centered around LFS - start with a box full of parts and the LFS LiveCD at the beginning of the semester and end up with a LAMP server at the end, all built from source.
