| 18 | <para>After five years, The BLFS Team is happy to present version 7.4 of
|
|---|
| 19 | Beyond Linx From Scratch. This version includes approximately 750
|
|---|
| 20 | packages beyond the base Linux From Scratch Version 7.4 book.</para>
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | <para>Keeping up to date with released packages that are useful to users is a
|
|---|
| 23 | challenge. On average, three new packages are released every day, seven days
|
|---|
| 24 | a week. As of this writing, BLFS is current. The vast majority of packages
|
|---|
| 25 | in the book have been verified ot work in an LFS-7.4 environment, however a
|
|---|
| 26 | few (26) packages have only been built and not tested primarily due to
|
|---|
| 27 | hardware constraints.</para>
|

| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | <para>This release would not have been possible without the help of
|
|---|
| 30 | a lot of people over the years. Sepcific thanks for the many hours
