LFS

      Hello netpals for the past six months i have been busy with my projects, i couldn't able to update my blog. Before we start linux from scratch, we should know who behind this.

“Gerard beekmans” a well known author in the space of open source,
who is an initiator of this project.

Follow this link http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/credits.html for other developers who involved in various version in development of this project taking to new heights. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org is the official site for this projects. Each category deals on different ways. It's up to you to make your choice and work on it.

It is always better to start with LFS project then move onto other, then only we will be able to understand the basics to some extent as per experts advice. So this blog is not for those who wish to work on other than LFS, for the rest of the people can proceed with this....

It is a step-by-step guide to develop linux from scratch to understand linux internals better. The purpose to have an customized OS that suits to our needs.For example, i have an apache server in my office in a system which only runs this application alone. I don't need to waste all the resource to run this application alone.

I built a system to run this application alone which holds 5 to 8 MB of disk space.Say a pen drive is enough to run Live OS to run this application. That kind of customized OS we can built using this project.

So tech folks i guess you all understand what im talking about. With forth coming blogs i will surely write about technical nitty gritty of this project.
