You silly, Linux from Scratch is not for all, but for very crazy people, and people who is plain crazy and didn't realize that you should also check BLFS because the plain LFS is pretty useless by itself. Besides that, great list! You should also check
reddit.com/r/commandline/
lol, editing mistake. Linux from Scratch is definitely not for everyone. Fixed and thanks for the suggestion, added it to the list.
You made a copy/paste mistake on the Nixcraft link I think, it also point to Phoronix... ;)
Still a great list !
Thank you :) Fixed
Thanks for the information. It is very helpful.
also, check Linux course in Pune
Nice.
Sadly, distrotest doesn't exist anymore.
