主题：Some good articles regarding Linux Distro -- octane99

It is about building a Linux system from the scratch, literally.

Even with the well written, detailed, step-by-step instructions, compiling everything from the kernel to libc to all applications is still challenging: time consuming, tedious and error prone.

You have to know how to use the tool chain (compiler/linker) fairly well. You will have to be comfortable with command line, You cannot be afraid of digging into tons of error messages and even more source code. Depending on your machine, you will need hours, if not days, to wait for the compilation finishing.

One more disadvantage for beginners. It requires a working Linux system as the build ground.

It is great for learning Linux, though.
