This book is intended for Linux users who want to learn more about the
|
|
inner workings of Linux and how the various pieces of the Operating
|
|
System fit together. This book will guide you step-by-step in creating
|
|
your own custom build Linux system from scratch, using the source code of
|
|
the software that we need.

This book is also intended for Linux users who want to get away from the
|
|
existing commercial and free distributions that are often too bloated.
|
|
Using existing distributions also forces you to use the file system
|
|
structure, boot script structure, etc. that they choose to use. With
|
|
this book you can create your own structures and methods in exactly the
|
|
way you like them (which can be based on the ones this book provides)

|
Also, if you have security concerns, you don't want to rely on
|
|
pre-compiled packages. So instead, you want to compile all programs
|
|
from scratch and install them yourself. That could be another reason why
|
|
you would want to build a custom made Linux system.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Those are just a few out of many reasons why people want to build their
|
|
own Linux system. If you're one of those people, this book is meant for
|
|
you.
