A comment on Obarun – Arch Linux based distro with skarnet s6/66 suite. Parent comment
Why not start with Arch or Obarun. Very few other distros allow so much hacking and choice as arch (and arch-based).
To start an independent and autonomous distro you need to build a few thousand packages first. The wealth of Arch+AUR is nearly unbeatable.
LFS is good exercise but that is about it. Reinventing the wheel is not very sensible.
