Hello,
My name is Tom, I am new to PLUG and am hoping to find time to start attending meetings. Until then I hope to find some interesting discussions here on this mailing list.

I've recently been playing around with creating a working LFS system and have been having lots of fun at learning about all that goes in to putting a working Linux system together. Now that I am almost done with the BLFS book, I was wondering if I might get some critique on my first, what I would consider, real shell script. I wrote it while going through the process of downloading and compiling the various packages I wanted/needed on my system. I basically downloads the needed archives, extracts them, runs the commands provided, and then removes the extracted directory and downloaded archive from the system. I added a some easily replaceable placeholders that I can us the %s option in vim on. So far it has worked fairly well for me. The code for it can be found at http://pastebin.com/ESjVCmTF.

I am looking forward to hearing any advice regarding this and also participating in this mailing list in the future.
