My Workstation OS: Linux From Scratch (NewsForge)
NewsForge hears
from a LFS fan. "LFS is probably the only Linux distribution in
which building the system is as much part of the experience as working on
it. LFS must be built alongside an existing Linux distribution. This allows
you flexibility in choosing the best compiler options for a particular
package. It lets you research packages on the Net or elsewhere throughly
before installing them. You can revert to your existing system if something
goes awry. For a tinkerer such as I, this is manna. When I built my system,
I happily spent hours looking around, selecting packages and options to use
on my system. The whole procedure entails an unbeatable learning experience
in that you actually watch your system grow from the basic toolchain to a
desktop."
