Development Release: Linux From Scratch 6.6 RC1 |
 |
Linux From Scratch (LFS) 6.6 RC1 was recently released. Linux From Scratch isn't a distribution in the traditional sense, but a book containing a set of tutorials for building a base Linux system from source code. From the project's news page: "The Linux From Scratch community is pleased to announce the release of LFS Version 6.6-rc1. This release includes numerous changes to LFS-6.5 (including updates to Linux-2.6.32.7, GCC-4.4.3, Glibc-2.11.1) and security fixes. It also includes editorial work on the explanatory material throughout the book, improving both the clarity and accuracy of the text." Besides the above-mentioned updates, the new version of Linux From Scratch also includes Bash 4.1, module-init-tools 3.11.1, udev 151, GRUB 1.97.2 (follow this thread for more information), and many of the very latest GNU packages. The complete book is available either as an online resource or as a single downloadable package in HTML (175KB), XML (509KB), and PDF (1,443KB) formats. |

| About Linux From Scratch |
| Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with the steps necessary to build your own custom Linux system. There are a lot of reasons why somebody would want to install an LFS system. The question most people raise is "why go through all the hassle of manually installing a Linux system from scratch when you can just download an existing distribution like Debian or Redhat". That is a valid question which I hope to answer for you. The most important reason for LFS's existence is teaching people how a Linux system works internally. Building an LFS system teaches you about all that makes Linux tick, how things work together, and depend on each other. And most importantly, how to customize it to your own taste and needs. |
