I used to use Slackware. Of all the distro's, it's probably my favorite.
I especially like BSD style bootup scripts. That's what I'm using now.

One of my biggest reasons for doing LFS was open-source. I wanted to have
the source to everything that I used.

I took a look at Beehive. It looks pretty neat. I understand (after using
RedHat) about not installing 500mb of stuff you'll never use...
