Okay, I was thinking you were actually serious, but either you don't 
understand what Linux actually is or you are trolling.

LFS has the same unchanged kernel that every Linux system has.  Yes, you
can select whatever other stuff in the distribution you might want.  But
the kernel is the same.  You can compile it yourself from source, you can
use someone else's compiled binary, but it's the same kernel.  

Until now I thought you were saying this was a wonderful thing but now you
are denying it is the case.  Yeah, I agree that you are likely a troll.
