Hello all,
There had been a very strong reaction from the LFS community. So i should like to requote my statements.
What i meant was the whole idea of customizing the linux system sucks(before screaming at me please read the whole mail first). Well to begin with i am a strong supporter of open source, my some friends disaggre and to some extent they are right. I started working on linux(embedded linux to be specific) about 5-6 months back as part of a initiative started by my company(our company deals in handheld application development). So I and a few friends formed the embedded linux group and a few of my friends started WinCE group.We worked for 6 months on everything from linux basics to building a cross development toolchain for embedded systems and the WinCE group developed a few applications on WinCE. Recently we had a presentation on what all groups have achieved in the last 5 months. And guess what the WinCE development has gone live whereaas the company has a very negative approach towards embedded linux and we can't blame them because there have been lot many business inquiries for WinCE. Why because it has a proper development environment, proper support and better market penetration. Unless linux makes available a proper and a standardize version for the embedded market microsoft is going to take over the handheld market just as it has taken over the personal computer market.
So where does LFS
come in between, well since there is no standrad distribution
available for PDA and smartphone market we couldn't develop
application for it.So all we could do was to build a small stripped
down version using LFS as a base. But it hasn't paid of as u all
know. Thats why i said rather than working on a million versions,
thousands of distros, billions of compatibility issues and patches
why doesn't linux community work towards standardizing linux.
And really sorry i didn't meant to offend you all.

Don't let him get to ya. He probably couldn't figure out how to use it
and was too lazy to read any of those docs we've put everywhere.
