Why would I want an LFS system?
[...]
The most important reason for LFS's existence is teaching people how
a Linux system works internally. Building an LFS system teaches you
about all that makes Linux tick, how things work together, and
depend on each other. And most importantly, how to customize it to
your own taste and needs.
eso es, en corto, basura. "./configure ; make ; make install" dos mil
veces no le ense�a a nadie como funcionan las cosas por dentro. De
hecho lo que le ense�a es que deber�a usar "&&" en lugar de ";".
One of the key benefits of LFS is that you are in control over your
system without having to rely on somebody else's Linux
implementation. [...]
y esto �ltimo es malo porque... �por qu�, ah?
[...] You are in the driver's seat now and are able to dictate every
single thing such as the directory layout and boot script setup.
hmm... y de paso convierte cualquier interno de soporte t�cnico en una
pesadilla.
You will also know exactly where, why and how programs are
installed.
Ver un par de p�rrafos m�s arriba.
Another advantage of a custom built Linux system is added security.
You will compile the entire system from source, thus allowing you to
audit everything, if you wish to do so, and apply all the security
patches you want or need to apply. You don't have to wait for
somebody else to provide a new binary package that fixes a security
hole. Besides, you have no guarantee that the new package actually
fixes the problem (adequately). You never truly know whether a
security hole is fixed or not unless you do it yourself.
ROTFL! Uhm... �no era broma?
Para cuando termina con esta historia, habr� invertido una cantidad no
despreciable de tiempo compilando, instalando, configurando y
repitiendo partes unas cuantas veces. El mismo tiempo lo podr�a haber
usado aprendiendo a programar, escribiendo documentaci�n, interactuando
con seres humanos de carne y hueso ...
