| 5 | This book is intended for Linux users who want to learn more about the
|
---|
| 6 | inner workings of Linux and how the various pieces of the Operating
|
---|
| 7 | System fit together. This book will guide you step-by-step in creating
|
---|
| 8 | your own custom build Linux system from scratch, using the source code of
|
---|
| 9 | the software that we need.

| 13 | This book is also intended for Linux users who want to get away from the
|
---|
| 14 | existing commercial and free distributions that are often too bloated.
|
---|
| 15 | Using existing distributions also forces you to use the file system
|
---|
| 16 | structure, boot script structure, etc. that they choose to use. With
|
---|
| 17 | this book you can create your own structures and methods in exactly the
|
---|
| 18 | way you like them (which can be based on the ones this book provides)

| 22 | Also, if you have security concerns, you don't want to rely on
|
---|
| 23 | pre-compiled packages. So instead, you want to compile all programs
|
---|
| 24 | from scratch and install them yourself. That could be another reason why
|
---|
| 25 | you would want to build a custom made Linux system.

|

| 29 | Those are just a few out of many reasons why people want to build their
|

| 30 | own Linux system. If you're one of those people, this book is meant for
|
---|
| 31 | you.
