I would say most certainly so, LFS is a definitive resource for understanding linux and distributions. I would say to a large degree linux from scratch is how I ended up in the linux business. They have stayed fairly current with todays trends and offer a lot of information about how linux works from a very fundamental level. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the people who started many of todays linux distributions didn't check out linux from scratch at least once for help. Though a literal T1 is 1000$ (at full retail) LFS really needs about 1TB a month in traffic which works out to about 300$-400$ per month for those already in the industry with colospace. I would expect to that usage could be reduced some with careful mirroring/caching/etc. As I stated previously I could donate up to about 300GB a month if people are interested in pooling a solution.
