LFS for eReaders

I made my own e-paper eReader friendly version of the LFS book, and decided to share it in case anyone else is interested. Please note that it is intended for casual/educational reading, and not as a guide to install Linux from scratch. It may not represent the current state of the official Linux From Scratch book (packages, scripts, instructions, etc). My goal was better rendering on an eReader screen, a faster load time, and faster page turns. It is still a little slow on my Clara BW, but it is probably the heaviest book I have in terms of formatting lol. Here is the dowload link: https://github.com/ebenezer1689/ebenezer1689.github.io

Is it possible to turn a Linux distribution created from Linux From Scratch into an independent distro or even create a foundation around it, like Ubuntu?

I'm studying Linux From Scratch (LFS) and I have a question:

After creating a Linux distribution based on LFS, is it possible to evolve it into a truly independent distribution, with its own repositories, package manager, updates, and community?

Would it also be possible to create a foundation or organization behind the distro, similar to how Ubuntu has Canonical?

The idea would be to start as a personal project using LFS, build a functional base, and eventually turn it into a larger project with a team and a community.

Has anyone here done something similar or has experience creating a Linux distribution from scratch?

Maintain packages

Once i get a LFS system running. How do i even maintain it. Do I have to check each and every program when there's an update and then install them?

Thankyou.

Thinking About Building My Own Linux Distribution with LFS – Looking for Advice

Hi everyone,

I'm an intermediate Linux user interested in creating my own distro with LFS. Can I start the process without knowing Bash scripting yet, and learn it along the way?

Any tips or recommendations are welcome. Thanks!
