Why, you might ask, would anyone want to build their own operating system? It's really about being in control and knowing what's going on.In the next few paragraphs I'll explain what motivated me to take on this project, the recipe I used, and what I like about it.

I've been a LFS'er for a little over a year now, and it is an excellent learning process. I know what I know about Linux right now because of LFS and as a side product I've built my own desktop system the way I want it.
The LFS community is also great. The project is set up so that you should try and learn everything on your own, but when you get stuck there are many other LFS people that can help you in a flash.
Note: LFS is not easy to work through and is not for the casual user. But you need to read the book to understand what mean!
