Build your own Linux

buik · Aug 17, 2017

Ideal for those who like to meet Linux.
Not just how you build it, but because it is a red thread through the system.
This will teach you playfully, the foundations of Linux.

WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
This course provides step-by-step instructions in an effort to build the Linux kernel, the GNU C Standard Library implementation, GCC, and user-land binaries from source. The tasks are presented in linear order, and must be followed sequentially, as later tasks have dependencies on early tasks. Do not skip around.

Following this guide as intended will, in turn, enlighten you to many of the "hows" and "whys" of Linux, and assist in your ability to do tasks such as:

Building or "rolling" your own distribution

Building user-land binaries from source

Troubleshooting issues with the kernel

Troubleshooting issues with user-land software

Understanding the rationale behind various security systems and measures

Performance tuning the kernel

Performance tuning user-land binaries

This course walks through the creation of a 64-bit system based on the Linux kernel. Our goal is to produce a small, sleek system well-suited for hosting containers or being employed as a virtual machine.

Because we don't need every piece of functionality under the sun, we're not going to include every piece of software you might find in a typical distro. This distribution is intended to be minimal.

If there are starters, with a free evening.
Recommendable to try this manual. It teaches you a lot.

Probably need much more than an 'evening' if you have a slow server/low core count based system to compile
