Re: Starter distribution

First of all I would like to apologise for the delay in replying and 
thanking all those who replied to my query, it was most remiss of me and 
I hope nobody thinks me rude because of it.  I have chosen to use Gentoo 
as my base distribution (when I can get it to recognise the Wi-Fi that 
is) because learning that would be a good primer (I think) for the 
actual LFS build when the time comes.

Thanks in advance,

A.
