I used LFS as a development machine for the Ronja project 
(http://ronja.twibright.com)
(=my desktop) for many years. Then
I moved and installed gentoo. That didn't work well. Then I installed 
OpenBSD.
That didn't work either. Then I installed LFS on the PC in the work and it 
works
fine (except OpenOffice doesn't work, but that's not a fault of LFS, but 
of OpenOffice).

Few days ago I installed my new LFS machine which I am going to use for 
Ronja development
again. Maybe I could put the puzzled Penguin on the Ronja page into the 
list of used software.

The important thing on LFS is that it never fails as a whole because there 
is no whole. It's
just individual parts, and if one part fails, it's a fault of that part 
and that's not
an issue. If a program is badly written, the program should be fixed, not 
workarounded by
someone who has less clue about it than the author.
