Why, you might ask, would anyone want to build their own operating system? It's really about being in control and knowing what's going on.In the next few paragraphs I'll explain what motivated me to take on this project, the recipe I used, and what I like about it.

When I launch a program, I want to use it right now. No hour-glass or wait message please.
This is more on the part of the application developer, then on the OS.
I don't really understand how LFS could be any faster then installing slackware (or any other distro.) and choosing the minimal set of applications. Boot time would really depended on how many modules you would need to load.
BTW I am running freeBSD and slackware on my machine and freeBSD boots a good deal faster. Hell, why not look into QNX that OS can boot off of a floopy with a full GUI, PPP, and web browser.
I have to agree with every one else, configuring a linux system isn't building an OS.
