OK, I'll bite: What about Linux from Scratch makes it a suitable
foundation for a custom Linux distribution? I'm actually rather
curious.

Nothing special but it is basically a set of
instructions for creating Linux on a computer from <br>
a zero starting point. That means that you might learn a lot about
GNU/Linux by using<br>
those instructions.<br>
Funtoo Linux is basically the same sort of arrangement but
aimed at using Gentoo<br>
sources.<br>
<br>
M PCLinuxOS64 is a rolling release. After I put do the
basic install I add in a lot of <br>
tools which I foolishly trust from long experience. It also has a
tool that would let me make<br>
a bootable disk from my modified system. So it is an easy way to
create a custom distribution<br>
with less effort and knowledge than the "Linux from Scratch" or
"Funtoo"<br>
<br>
I doubt I will do anything like that at this point as keeping up
with other matters<br>
is taking up too much of my time and I enjoy writing more than i do
reading the<br>
distributed and applicable documents to use the tool.<br>
