Let's see, I have on my LFS system:
X-4.2.0
Blackbox
XFCE
Bind
Apache
Postgres
NTP
Sylpheed
mailx
dcron
snmp
sendmail
OpenOffice 1.0.0
acroread
sql-ledger
gnupg
checkinstall
rpm
lots more.

in fact, I think the list of what I _don't_ have would be shorter.  That
would be Gnome, KDE (although I do have QT3, gtk+, tcl/tk, libjpeg,
libpng, more ...)

For me, a _base_ system (which uses libpam BTW), includes cron, mail,
etc., that LFS doesn't.  For me, LFS isn't even a base system.
