-<title>Who would want to read this book</title>

-<para>There are many reasons why somebody would want to read this book. The
-principle reason being to install an LFS system. A question many people raise 
-is "Why go through all the hassle of manually building a Linux system 
-from scratch when you can just download and install an existing one?". That
-is a good question.</para>
-
-<para>One important reason for LFS' existence is to help people
-learn how a Linux system works from the inside out. Building an LFS system
-helps demonstrate what makes Linux tick, and how things work together and
-depend on each other. And perhaps most importantly, how to customize it to
-your own tastes and needs.</para>
-
-<para>A key benefit of LFS is that you have more control of your system
-without relying on someone else's Linux implementation. With LFS, you are
-in the driver's seat and dictate every aspect of your system, such as the
-directory layout and boot script setup. You also dictate where, why and how
-programs are installed.</para>
-
-<para>Another benefit of LFS is the ability to create a very compact Linux
-system. When installing a regular distribution, you end up with several
-programs which you are likely to never use. They're just sitting there wasting
-(precious) disk space. It isn't difficult to build an LFS system less than
-100 MB. Does that still sound like a lot? A few of us have been working on
-creating a very small embedded LFS system. We successfully built a system
-that was just enough to run the Apache web server with approximately 8MB
-of disk space used. Further stripping could bring that down to 5 MB or
-less. Try that with a regular distribution.</para>
-
-<para>We could compare distributed Linux to a hamburger you buy at a
-fast-food restaurant - you have no idea what you are eating. LFS, on the
-other hand, doesn't give you a hamburger, but the recipe to make a hamburger. 
-This allows you to review it, to omit unwanted ingredients, and to
-add your own ingredients which enhance the flavor of your burger. When you
-are satisfied with the recipe, you go on to preparing it. You make it just
-the way you like it: broil it, bake it, deep-fry it, barbecue it, or eat it
-tar-tar (raw).</para>
-
-<para>Another analogy that we can use is that of comparing LFS with a 
-finished house. LFS will give you the skeletal plan of a house, but it's up 
-to you to build it. You have the freedom to adjust your plans as you
-go.</para>
-
-<para>Another advantage of a custom built Linux system is security.
-By compiling the entire system from source code, you are empowered to audit
-everything and apply all the security patches you feel are needed. You don't 
-have to wait for somebody else to compile binary packages that fix a security
-hole. Unless you examine the patch and build it yourself you have no
-guarantee that the new package was built correctly and actually fixes the
-problem (adequately). You never truly know whether a security hole is fixed
-or not unless you do it yourself.</para>
