LFS is an excellent way to go through and learn how to bolt together a distro - sorcerer linux (mentioned on /. today because the maintainer can't afford the time to maintain it anymore) does things similarly - if you're not that ambitious yet, a good distro to actually work at is Slackware, which never has really handed things to you on a plate - I cut my teeth on 3.1 -> 3.4 and it left me with what i consider a good grounding in basic linux. -- _ __/| ___ ___ __ _________ "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned \`O_o' / _ \/ -_) // / __/ _ \ for Sega." -- Brodie, 'Mallrats' =(_ _)=/_//_/\__/\_,_/_/ \___/ @ well.com :: William Anderson U - Ack!
