From Scratch
What a great article! It inspired me to have a go at it. I have been a Linux enthusiast since the late 1990s and I have used Gentoo as my main distro for well over 20 years. As you can see I’m familiar with the command line compiling stuff, and you might say I must be a bit of a masochistic to continue to enjoy it still at the age of 75!
Anyway I was book. It is informative and the instructions are clear. I had the basic system up and running from scratch in about eight or nine hours, and am pretty chuffed to say that it booted with a working network at the first attempt. I’m now moving on through BLFS with a plan to get a full desktop system up and running very soon.
