Vacation is here.....

For nine days starting from today starts the Onam vacation.I had plans of devoting some time to be a part of the Open Source Revolution and as a part of that just checked out http://www.linuxfromscratch.org It is an online guidebook for creating our own Linux Distros.but to use it one must acquire fair amount of working knowledge about Linux,which I dont have.All basic steps for creating a distribution,the command line parameters as well as the implications of every line of code plus the synatx are given in a well documnted easy to understand manner.The process of creation uses an existing installation as a host environment to work on.Besides there is also ALFS,which is Automated Linux From Scratch,which automates most of the LFS build procedure and aftert that.I will definitely try it out once I have a good understanding of a Linux System.
