[PLUG] linuxfromscratch needs a home (fwd)

[Aaron Cordova]

LFS is an excellent group. They deserve all the help they can get from all 
of their users. If I had the space to donate I would. I learned more about 
linux by building my own system than I ever would by using a pre-compiled 
distro.

God save LFS!!!
