For those who've been through LFS, would you say that it's a good first step for someone who wants to roll their own bistro at some point down the road?

<insert joke about the similarities between making sandwiches (bistro) and building a linux (distro)>

Yes definitely! If you want to roll a new distro, I would dare say LFS is an essential step. Now that said, if your new "distro" is just going to be Ubuntu with a couple tweaked settings, you won't get nearly as much from it. But any non-trivial distro rolling you can absolutely benefit.

Haha, autocorrect strikes again!

Thanks, and yeah if I were to roll a new distro it’d be substantially different from anything currently out there.
