- <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.
