    What is piLFS?


    piLFS is the Raspberry Pi implementation of LFS (Linux From Scratch) a distribution you build from source code using your current Raspbian or other armv6/7/8 linux system then move to a SD card and boot from the piLFS
    operating system to build whatever packages you need. It gives you total control over what packages get installed based on your needs.. It's totally perfect for a BBS since you don't need to compile Xorg/Wayland cuz every
    linux BBS that people use runs in console mode. so you aren't bloated with packages and redundant dependencies that you will never use. saves space on
    the SD cuz that technology really hasn't progressed much.. I've only seen
    64GB SD cards around my area so less bloat = more space for BBS :D

    Haven't seen much traffic in months here so I figured I would start a topic..
    I know there are still a few pinet nodes still trying to poll me for mail
    after these many months.. idk if the sysops do not read mail or anything but all attempts have failed so onward I go lol

    Anyways.. after that bit of a rant.. has anyone worked at all with piLFS? I just completed a successful build and am about to boot into it for the first time.. I love the control over what packages get installed on the Pi because
    of the space limitations and low ram, I figure it would be perfect for
    running the BBS since i only need the basic of basics for packages.
