   I run lfs too, I like the sysv version. I like systemd also but I haven't   
   figured out how to quiet the console.

   I'm a gamer (old time games) so I build prboom-plus, quakespasm and ioQuake3   
   and other things like that.

   I have three machines that I installed lfs on. My desktop where I play the   
   most, the BBS machine that just runs the BBS, and a laptop.

   So far I have only installed on real hardware.

   I was counted on lfs late last year or early this year.   
      
   I found lfs to be quite a project but it has been rewarding.   
      
   I've built a few things outside of blfs, but I don't remember what at the   
   moment. Minicom, szrz, and modumu2k recently.
