How to Build Your Own Linux Distribution

Posted by Zonk on from the tux-in-a-box dept.

Shelly writes "Go to the source to learn Linux basics and build the right Linux for you. Linux From Scratch (LFS) and its descendants represent a new way to teach users how the Linux operating systems work. LFS is based on the assumption that compiling a complete operating system piece by piece not only teaches how the operating system works but also allows an independent operator to build systems for speed, footprint, or security."

    I hope that you get moderated down so far that your user number goes up.

    We're trying to create a new distro especially for elderly people. What we did is to start with a livecd based on Gentoo catalyst. Took us some weeks to create something bootable, but we are up and running with a pre-beta now... BTW:anyone with ideas for a nice logo?

    Yes, but is it not possible that the other comment wasn't on the page yet when he submitted his? I mean, by punished the first repititon of a particular comment it then becomes risky to say anything! What if someone else just said that +5 insightful nugget! Then you'll get -1, redundant. Better keep that possibly repetitive comment to yourself.

    The mod guidelines say you should concentrate on modding UP for just this reason.
