<para>Having used a number of different Linux distributions, I was never
|
||||
fully satisfied with any of them. I didn't like the arrangement of
|
||||
the bootscripts. I didn't like the way certain programs were configured by
|
||||
default. Much more of that sort of thing bothered me. Finally I realized
|
||||
that if I wanted full satisfaction from my Linux system I would have to
|
||||
build my own system from scratch, using only the source code. I resolved
|
||||
not to use pre-compiled packages of any kind, nor CD-ROM or boot disk that
|
||||
would install some basic utilities. I would use my current Linux system to
|
||||
develop my own.</para>
|
||||
<para>Six years ago I embarked on the adventure known as Linux. I did
|
||||
what most you guys have done: download a distribution, install it, and
|
||||
work with it for a while. Then you don't quite like it and you hear
|
||||
about a different distribution that is supposed to be great and fix
|
||||
everything your current distribution does wrong. So you try that new
|
||||
distribution out for a while. You may even repeat that same cycle a
|
||||
few times.</para>

|
||||
<para>This wild idea seemed very difficult at the time and often seemed
|
||||
an impossible task. After sorting out all kinds of problems, such as
|
||||
dependencies and compile-time errors, a custom-built Linux system was
|
||||
created that was fully operational. I called this system a Linux From Scratch
|
||||
system, or LFS for short.</para>
|

<para>After you have tried out a number of different distributions,
|

you find that each has its strengths and weaknesses, but you can't

|

Personally, I came to the conclusion that to be truly satisfied with
|
||||
my Linux system, I would have to somehow combine those different
|
||||
systems into one <quote>perfect</quote> Linux system. It would then
|
||||
have all the strengths from various different systems, without their
|

weaknesses. But that surely is an impossible and daunting task. Or is
