r0154b8b6 ra26735e 3 3 4 4 <para> 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. 5 This book is intended for Linux users who want to build their own custom 6 build Linux system. Reasons for wanting to build such a system are 7 diverse. Perhaps you want to get into more detail as to what 8 happens behind the scenes. Perhaps you are fed up with distributions 9 which are often very bloated or perhaps you don't want to rely on pre-compiled 10 binaries due to security concerns. There are many reasons why you may want 11 a custom build system, but if you are one of them, this book is for meant 12 for you. 10 13 </para> 11 14 12 15 <para> 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) 16 The fruits of building your own system are plentiful, but the labour may 17 be hard. You have a long way ahead of you but in the end you will be 18 able to call yourself the proud owner of your own Linux system, 19 completely tailored after your needs. You dictate the layout of 20 bootscripts, the file system structure, which programs are installed in 21 which directory, which versions of software to use. Perhaps the 22 most important reason is that you know exactly what is installed where 23 why and how. 19 24 </para> 20 25 21 <para>22 Also, if you have security concerns, you don't want to rely on23 pre-compiled packages. So instead, you want to compile all programs24 from scratch and install them yourself. That could be another reason why25 you would want to build a custom made Linux system.26 </para>27 28 <para>29 Those are just a few out of many reasons why people want to build their30 own Linux system. If you're one of those people, this book is meant for31 you.32 </para>33 26 34 27 </sect1>
