What do you mean by 'professional' if you mean a full desktop installation then of course.
You need to be a bit more precise in your question, also what steps have gone to to make this 'professional' OS, what level of skill and knowledge do you have with Linux, is this OS going to be for general release or just for your own use.

Hello,

"professional" means a good desktop environments(unity,GNOME Shell,Cinnamon) and popular package manager like (rpm,apt-get,yum)and installation procedure etc...i have a middle level knowledge in LINUX and i build LFS/BLFS 7.6 system by follow LFS/BLFS 7.6 stable version and it is a general release purpose.

You mean like this:

Xfce 4.10
Conky
Cairo-Dock
Spacefm
KKedit

That's just what you can see, I also use a packages manager, run ssh server, local http server etc etc.

You just have to spend a little time and effort and decide exactly what you want and how you want to do it.

a question
is English your native language ?

a guess from syntax "French" ?

as to using RedHat "rpm's
or using Debian deb's
on Linux From Scratch

WHY ???

just edit your build scripts

if you NEED to use rpm's
install redhat
if you need to use deb's install Debian

As you sussed that the ops not a native English speaker cut him a little slack this obviously means he has an intermediate knowledge of Linux, and frankly his English is probably better than your ( or mine ! ) French

oho..one small mistake that is not a language that is knowledge i just edited my previous post.i don't want to use redhat for rpm i want to install rpm into my own OS.
English is not my native language.

Keith Hedger gave some links in his post. Otherwise, I suppose that your favourite search engine will be up to the task.

Now, completely off topic, but since English isn't your native language, please accept a couple of suggestions:
- use a spell checker
- capitalize the first word of a sentence
- capitalize "I" (pronoun)
- put a space after punctuation marks , ; . :

I would look into this.
Linux from Script

This uses LFS but it's automated with scripts. You can write your own scripts to add new features to your build. It has it's own package manager so to speak so adding new features is pretty simple.

This is what I use.
