Hi all, for those who are keen to learn about how GNU/Linux (i.e. not just Ubuntu) really works I would thoroughly recommend this project.
I started building LFS systems in about 1999 and it really is probably the best way to get to know what goes into a Linux distribution and how all the various bits plug together. The project is basically a book that educates and instructs the reader on how to build a complete (but basic) GNU/Linux OS completely from scratch, i.e. the source code. On completion of the book you can then go on to read Beyond Linux From Scratch (BLFS) to add useful applications on top of your system. Well worth looking into if you are hungry for knowledge.
