Can you really consider linux distros based off of arch, a solely arch-based distro?

sure, arch is cool, but can it be considered the fast version of LFS? Stupid question, i know.

IMO no, arch is a fully developed distribution, LFS is a collection of base code on which you need to build a usable distribution,
All Linux builds share the same base codes so they are all related.
INFO.
The first text based Linux was 1992,HJ Lu Linux 0.12

The first GUI Linux was TAMU 1.0A. later in 1992

There are only a few 'real' distros, those that actually compile the software, all others are 'spins' of these distros.

Does it matter? Of course not, as they are all using the Linux kernel & GNU software, only the package managers differ. ;)
