| 4 | <para>This book is intended for Linux users who want to setup their own
|
|---|
| 5 | custom built Linux system. Reasons for wanting to build such a system are
|
|---|
| 6 | diverse. Perhaps you want to get into more detail as to what
|
|---|
| 7 | happens behind the scenes. Perhaps you are fed up with distributions
|
|---|
| 8 | which are often bloated or perhaps you don't want to rely on pre-compiled
|
|---|
| 9 | binaries due to security concerns. There are many other reasons why
|
|---|
| 10 | someone may want a custom built system. If any of these reasons apply to
|
|---|
| 11 | you, this book is meant for you.</para>

| 13 | <para>The fruits of building your own system are plentiful, but the labor may
|
|---|
| 14 | be hard. There is a long way ahead, but in the end you will be
|
|---|
| 15 | able to call yourself the proud owner of your own Linux system,
|
|---|
| 16 | completely tailored after your needs. You will dictate the layout of
|
|---|
| 17 | bootscripts, the file system hierarchy, which programs are installed in
|
|---|
| 18 | which directory, which versions of software to use, and more. Perhaps the
|
|---|
| 19 | most important reason is that you will know exactly what is installed where,
|
|---|
| 20 | why, and how.</para>
