+<para>
+Users who don't want to build an entire Linux system from scratch
+probably don't want to read this book. If you, however, do want to learn
+more about what happens behind the scenes, in particular what happens
+between turning on your computer and seeing the command prompt, you want
+to read the <quote>From Power Up To Bash Prompt</quote> (P2B) HOWTO.
+This HOWTO builds a bare system, in a similar way as this book does, but it
+focusses more on just installing a bootable system instead of a complete
+system.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+To decide whether you want to read this book or the P2B HOWTO, you could
+ask yourself this question: Is my main objective to get a working Linux
+system that I'm going to build myself and along the way learn and
+learn what every component of a system is for, or is just the learning
+part your main objective. If you want to build and learn, read this
+book. If you just want to learn, then the P2B HOWTO is probably better
+material to read.

+<title>Who would want to read this book</title>
+
+<para>
+This book is intended for Linux users who want to learn more about the
+inner workings of Linux and how the various pieces of the Operating
+System fit together. This book will guide you step-by-step in creating
+your own custom build Linux system from scratch, using the source code of 
+the software that we need.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This book is also intended for Linux users who want to get away from the
+existing commercial and free distributions that are often too bloated.
+Using existing distributions also forces you to use the file system
+structure, boot script structure, etc. that they choose to use. With
+this book you can create your own structures and methods in exactly the
+way you like them (which can be based on the ones this book provides)
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Also, if you have security concerns, you don't want to rely on
+pre-compiled packages. So instead, you want to compile all programs
+from scratch and install them yourself. That could be another reason why 
+you would want to build a custom made Linux system.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Those are just a few out of many reasons why people want to build their
+own Linux system. If you're one of those people, this book is meant for
+you.
