+<title>Who would want to read this book</title>
+
+<para>
+This book is intended for Linux users who want to setup their own custom
+build Linux system. Reasons for wanting to build such a system are
+diverse. Perhaps you want to get into more detail as to what
+happens behind the scenes. Perhaps you are fed up with distributions
+which are often bloated or perhaps you don't want to rely on pre-compiled
+binaries due to security concerns. There are many reasons why you may want 
+a custom build system, but if you are one of them, this book is meant
+for you.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The fruits of building your own system are plentiful, but the labour may
+be hard. You have a long way ahead of you but in the end you will be
+able to call yourself the proud owner of your own Linux system,
+completely tailored after your needs. You dictate the layout of
+bootscripts, the file system hierarchy , which programs are installed in
+which directory, which versions of software to use and more. Perhaps the
+most important reason is that you know exactly what is installed where
+why and how.
