Actually LFS teaches you about the whole GNU Userland, getting a kernel up and running with busybox is much easier. This project does just that - teaching you the bare minimum.

Exactly my thoughts, though more projects focused on this wouldn't do any harm.

It's supposed to be a lot shorter and simpler. Which means many important things were left out for the sake of brevity. I also think LFS doesn't always explain why we are doing certain things a certain way or how things work. Sure you get a working system but it's often assumed you know why it's working. I'm not sure if I did a better job though.

This uses BusyBox instead of GNU userland tools. You can complete this in an afternoon, but you can't get LFS done in that time.
