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."

      Was it said already? Yes? Then yes it was redundant.

      redundant:
      adj 1: more than is needed, desired, or required;

      Only one post stating that is needed, desired or required.
