At least someone heard me and wrote an article, finally, thanks. It is a big thing that deserves some attention.
I wonder if there are any original installs left which have been just upgraded ever since?
is there a way to find out when a server was originally installed? one of my servers has been around maybe 5 years… no where near 20, that’s for sure!
apparently
stat -c %w /will find your install date (i believe it’s the date ‘/’ was created?). anyways, mine is2014-02-08, so just over 8 years. fun!

Unlike Gentoo, you don’t need to compile everything, so it doesn’t take a long time. Unlike Linux from Scratch, the result is a fully functional OS with a package manager, so you can keep it up to date with little effort. (Although as your skills develop, LFS is an excellent next step.)
Having done LFS once, I value a working package system that someone else is caring for.
