Let's wait a bit for alternative proposals on renaming. It would be nice if 
memory requirements are also covered. Also, why it is placed after the "Host 
System Requirements" section and not before (not an objection, just curious)?

AFAIK, ALFS is not an active project (9 mails to the list and 0 SVN commits 
since January, 1st). So it would be better to say something like "a scripted 
build" (meaning user-written scripts) instead of "ALFS", and proide some 
concrete specs of a "reasonably fast system".
