What is Beyond Linux From Scratch?
Beyond Linux From Scratch (BLFS) is a project that continues
where the LFS book finishes. It assists users in developing their
systems according to their needs by providing a broad range of
instructions for installing and configuring various packages on top
of a base LFS system.
Why would I want a BLFS system?
If you are wondering why you would want a BLFS system or don't know what
LFS is, then you don't want to be here just yet — you should head
over to the
LFS Project Homepage
where all
will be explained.
What can I do with my BLFS system?
Nearly anything! An LFS system is primed to become a system that fits
whatever need you have. BLFS is the book that takes you down your own custom
path. You could build an office workstation, a multimedia desktop, a router, a
server, or all of the above! And the best part is you only install what you
need.
