      6 # Linux From Scratch - non-POSIX compliant bloat
      7 
      8 Taken from [LFS](https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/) site:
      9 > Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with step-by-step
     10 instructions for building your own custom Linux system, entirely from source
     11 code. 
     12 
     13 This description really summarizes it nicely and it is exactly what you are
     14 getting.  To understand the reasoning behind this clickbait title, it's
     15 important for me to clarify my expectations of this project as well as the project itself.

     17 ## Linux From Scratch
     18 
     19 Linux From Scratch is a project that provides you with a book that contains a
     20 step-by-step instructions on how to build your own Linux system. It is supposed to:
     21 
     22 - Teach people how a Linux system works internally
     23 - Produce a very compact Linux system
     24 - Be extremely flexible
     25 - Offer you added security
     26 
     27 LFS deliverers on all promises hands down.
     28 
     29 It's not exactly a book for beginners as some important topics like disk
     30 partitioning are not explained in depth, and as decent proficiency in terminal
     31 is assumed for a smooth ride.
     32 
     33 If proper amount of care is not taken there are quite a few headache that may arise down
     34 the road, but if proper backups were made, (almost) every issue can be resolved.
