Are you building a distro of linux or will you write a kernel too?

No, you worthless-trash! ;-) He wrote that he thinks it'll be a good place to get an idea of how to build and os from scratch (with which I disagree).

From my limited experience, building a kernel is much different than assembling the parts from existing tooling.

(I agree with you).

Absolutely, this is also why I don't think lfs is suitable. Something more general on operating system design (not that I know of any recent books) and the specifics of your target platform is going to be a much better start.
