Linux From Scratch 7.4 发布，定制自己的Linux系统

Linux From Scratch项目简称LFS，它提供必要的步骤，帮你一步一步地创建自己定制的Linux系统。关于为什么有人希望安装一套LFS系统，我们可以给出很多的理由。人们问得最多的问题是，既然可以下载到一份成型的套件比如Debian或者Red Hat，为什么还要去争论从头开始手工安装一份Linux系统呢？这是一个很合理的问题，我将问答你。LFS存在的最重要的原因就是教给人们一个Linux系统其内部是如何工作的。自己创建一份LFS系统将让你了解到Linux工作的每个细节，以及它们是如何彼此依赖和协同工作的。最重要的在于，你可以按自己的喜好和需求定制它。
