Link of the Week / Linux From Scratch

Link of the Week
Here's an interesting book on Linux  called
_Linux From Scratch_ :

http://www.linuxfromscratch.

Who would want to read this book

   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.

And its free.
