I used LFS in high school (8 years ago). It's how I learned 90% of what I now know about administering and troubleshooting Linux servers.
If that's your goal, I recommend it.
- JonAtkinson 16y agoI also went through the book in school, I learnt so much from it. Back then, I only had a single computer, so while I didn't really need your computer for day-to-day work (or at least, it was rarely required to maintain my income), it forced me to carry on with LFS long past the book, all the way up to installing GNOME and OpenOffice. It was very worthwhile, and the residual knowledge I have from that process is still used frequently.
- hardik988 16y agoThanks. I've heard contrasting opinions on how much 'value addition' the book provides. Some say it's just a 'robotic follow how-to' guide while some swear by it. But most people have been synonymous on it being a useful guide to being a sysadmin. So I'll be sure to browse through it.
