Hi All - I recently volunteered to give a talk next month about LFS/BLFS to the San Fernando Valley Linux User Group (Los Angeles) that one of my employees organizes.
The main purpose of my talk will be to inspire people in the audience to embark on their own LFS journey, as it is probably the *best* way to see how all the pieces of a Linux machine are put together (certainly was for me when I did my first LFS build in 2003, and has continued to be as I build a new one roughly annually since). I plan to outline the basic process at a high level using various pre-staged VM snapshots to demo selected points of interest. The idea being to go from zero to a functioning environment in about an hour... so a *lot* of details will be omitted (therefore not cheating the audience of the opportunity to learn on their own after the talk). If I may ask a couple questions of this group: 1. What parts of the process are newcomers tending to get hung up on that I should address specifically? (Host system requirements comes to mind...) 2. Is there anything coming up on the horizon that you’d like me to mention? I am looking forward to promoting LFS and informing people about this wonderful resource you all have worked so hard on all these years. I don’t chime in on this list very often, but I’m extremely grateful for how LFS continues to stay current/relevant while staying true to its long standing mission of being an educational tool. That’s because of the dedicated efforts of this group of editors and contributors, so thanks for all you do! Regards, -wpl
