Linux From Scratch 7.4 發布，定制自己的Linux系統

Linux From Scratch項目簡稱LFS，它提供必要的步驟，幫你一步一步地創建自己定制的Linux系統。關于為什么有人希望安裝一套LFS系統，我們可以給出很多的理由。人們問得最多的問題是，既然可以下載到一份成型的套件比如Debian或者Red Hat，為什么還要去爭論從頭開始手工安裝一份Linux系統呢？這是一個很合理的問題，我將問答你。LFS存在的最重要的原因就是教給人們一個Linux系統其內部是如何工作的。自己創建一份LFS系統將讓你了解到Linux工作的每個細節，以及它們是如何彼此依賴和協同工作的。最重要的在于，你可以按自己的喜好和需求定制它。
