Section 1 Our Goal WHAT WE ARE BUILDING 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. Here is what our end-result will look like: 64-bit Linux 4.8 Kernel with GCC 6.2 and glibc 2.24 A system compatible with both EFI and BIOS hardware Bootable with GRUB2 A VFAT formatted partition for GRUB/UEFI A boot partition A root partition 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: 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 Building or "rolling" your own distribution Building user-land binaries from source Required Skills and Knowledge We make extensive use of VirtualBox in this course. Working knowledge of VirtualBox and a solid foundation in Linux and Linux troubleshooting are essential. If you're not as familiar with VirtualBox as you would like, take a look at the "How to Install CentOS 7 with VirtualBox" lesson in the "Linux Essentials Certification" course. That course, as well, provides the foundational knowledge required for this course. Standards As we progress through this course, we will adhere to the FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard) specification, version 3.0. We will adhere (mostly) to the LSB (Linux Standard Base) specification, version 5.0. See the pertinent sections in this guide for more information on these two topics.
