Plistic GNU/Linux Journal

I'm currently running the torture tests for GCC. I hope it finishes soon so I can continue building the LFS-system. My plan is to build an LFS-system. Then from the LFS-system build another LFS-system that is the same. After that, I'll be building another LFS-based-system, but the new system will use upstart instead of sysvinit. Once I figure out what programs I want to be in my core distribution, then I'll try to build RPM into the tool-chain and see if my theory of using RPM in the tool-chain to install all the programs works.

The reason why I'm building an LFS-system twice is so that the host system to build LFS is a homemade system. That way every single program on the computer will be built with programs that I compiled myself. It might seem unnecessary, but this is my project and that's how I want to do it.
