Can we consider LTS a real distro?
As far I know a distro is consider a operating system with a own package manager. However LFS hasn't a package manager because you install package manually from source. So, can we consider LFS a distro?
Thanks. |
There is no definitive definition of a "distro", but Wikipedia has the following (my emphasis):

I would tend to agree with that. A bare-bones distro may depend on the user to manually install any required software from source, or perhaps leave it to the user to install a package manager if they so desire. |
I think they say they aren't a distro. It is just a cookbook not any sort of build.
However, we see it on places like distrowatch. I doubt anyone would complain one way or the other. |
I agree with jefro.
LFS is not a distro; it's a book. Discussing whether it is a distro is not worth the electrons it takes to do so. |
It's a meta-distribution.

For me, LFS is two things. It's a series of instructions for creating a Linux distro, and it is the finished distro itself. What the minimum stage is in that process that your newly-created distro can actually be called a distro is open to debate. ;-)
