Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with step-by-step instructions for building your own custom Linux system, entirely from source code. Currently, the Linux From Scratch organization consists of the following subprojects: * LFS :: Linux From Scratch is the main book, the base from which all other projects are derived. * BLFS :: Beyond Linux From Scratch helps you extend your finished LFS installation into a more customized and usable system. * ALFS :: Automated Linux From Scratch provides tools for automating and managing LFS and BLFS builds. * CLFS :: Cross Linux From Scratch provides the means to cross-compile an LFS system on many types of systems. * HLFS :: Hardened Linux From Scratch focuses on building an LFS system with heightened security. * Hints :: The Hints project is a collection of documents that explain how to enhance your LFS system in ways that are not included in the LFS or BLFS books. * LiveCD :: The LiveCD project provides a CD that is useful as an LFS build host or as a general rescue CD. * Patches :: The Patches project serves as a central repository for all patches useful to an LFS user.

How so? As in its a book that eaches you how to make a Linux system from a file containing 0 characters? Or it just tells you how to compile existing source code?

If it's compiling from existing source code, then where have you been the past 4,000 years? (rough estimate)

4000 years? THERE WAS NO COMPUTER BEFORE 2000 BC... omfg the computer only exists about 20 years or something.. wasnt it 1980? or 1880? I dunno.. > wikipedia

Well.. it was 1960. Where I was wrong too.. I have a timeline here somewhere in one of my notes from Cisco

A computer was designed by Da Vinci. But he didn't have the parts =p

I have a timeline here somewhere in one of my notes from Cisco 1960's not even close either, did you even READ the links I gave? England was using pretty good computers in WW2 and they had been around a while even by then!

I have read the links. It is just that they really started using PC's and those big servers (cant get on the name) around 1960 that was really the beginning of the computer rage.

I am not going to doubt about your knowledge, they couldve started around WW2 but that is just what I've read in my books..

EDIT: I was wrong, it was about the internet and it started around 1890. my bad
