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. + + + +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. + + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
