Geekier Than Your Average Linux Geek

That's right, I have gone above and beyond the call of Linux geekiness.

I've written here and there about how I get frustrated with Linux distros, so I use LFS (Linux From Scratch). For those who don't know, it's all about compiling your system from source code. By hand. No package manager. I've been doing this for 2 or 3 years now and I'm quite happy with it overall.

But now I've crossed even that line of geekiness. As of a few days ago, I am officially an editor for BLFS (Beyond Linux From Scratch), the book where you take a basic command line system and actually make it useful, installing desktop environments and such. Mostly right now I'm working on getting KDE up to date, but I look to do more in the future.

Here's to me! And here's to Linux geeks of all levels of geekiness all around the world!

P.S. - Everybody go read the Man Pages and keep up with it. Convert to Linux. Be a Linux geek like all the rest of us.

Happy LFSer,

rdaniels
