+<para>The <acronym>BLFS</acronym> project is a natural progression of
+<acronym>LFS</acronym>.  Together, these projects provide a unique resource for
+the Open Source Community.  They take the mystery out of the process of
+building a complete, funtional software system from the source code contibuted
+by many talented individuals throughout the world.  They truly allow users 
+to implement the slogan "Your distro, your rules."</para>
+
+<para>Our goal is to continue to provide the best resoure available that shows
+you how to integrate many significant Open Source applications.  Since these
+applications are constantly updated and new applications are developed, this
+book will never be complete.  Additionally, there is always room for
+improvement in explaining the nuances of how to install the different packages.
+To make these improvements, we need your feedback.  I encourcage you to
+participate on the different mailing lists, news groups, and
+<acronym>IRC</acronym> channels to help meet these goals.</para>
