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. 16 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.
