Canberra Linux Users Group Meeting - 24th February 2011
=======================================================
Date: 24th February 2011 (Fourth Thursday of the month)
Time: 19:00 - 21:00 (or when it finishes)
Speaker: Owen Cook
Abstract: Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you
with step-by-step instructions for building your own
customized Linux system entirely from source. I suggest
it is more of an educational tool than real live system
though there have been a number of LFS server
commissioned, and there are a lot of users world wide
that use it as their computer system.
There are a number of side projects, the main one being
the "Beyond LFS" (BLFS). However most of these are
neglected, or not up to date, or just no longer
relevant. The LFS website is at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ - it is at version
6.7, the BLFS is at 6.3, so to some extent you are on
your own when extending the LFS.
Venue: Room N101
