This book is intended for Linux users who want to setup their own
|
|
custom built Linux system. Reasons for wanting to build such a system are
|
|
diverse. Perhaps you want to get into more detail as to what
|
|
happens behind the scenes. Perhaps you are fed up with distributions
|
|
which are often bloated or perhaps you don't want to rely on pre-compiled
|
|
binaries due to security concerns. There are many reasons why a user may
|
|
want a custom built system. If you are one of them, this book is meant
|
|
for you.

The fruits of building your own system are plentiful, but the labor may
|
|
be hard. There is a long way ahead, but in the end you will be
|
|
able to call yourself the proud owner of your own Linux system,
|
|
completely tailored after your needs. You will dictate the layout of
|
|
bootscripts, the file system hierarchy, which programs are installed in
|
|
which directory, which versions of software to use, and more. Perhaps the
|
|
most important reason is that you will know exactly what is installed where,
|
|
why, and how.
