The LINUX Pocket Guide is for anyone interested in learning the techniques of building a GNU/Linux system from source code. The guide is structured as a project that builds a small diskette-based GNU/Linux system called Pocket Linux. Each chapter explores a small piece of the overall system explaining how it works, why it is needed and how to build it. After completing the Pocket Linux project, readers should possess an enhanced knowledge of what makes GNU/Linux systems work as well as the confidence to explore larger, more complex source-code-only projects. *** Money raised from the sale of this book supports the development of free software and documentation.

5.0 out of 5 stars
dream,
This review is from: LINUX Pocket Guide (Paperback)
I am teaching at a University for Applied Sciences in Germany. Therefore in the last five years I ordered more than 500 books about Computer Science, Math and Physics.
This book on getting a deeper understanding about how a Linux System works, belongs to the top ten. It combines theory and application in a wonderful short way. Everyone interested in this area should get one copy and implement the described system, even if it is from 2005.
