If you’re facing the challenge of building a GNU/Linux system from scratch, there is a distribution that can make things easier for you. Linux From Scratch (LFS) guides you step by step to create a Linux OS from the source code of the packages. This distro receives regular updates as they are implemented in the Linux kernel and in its basic GNU tools.

There is a more specific version of this distribution for those interested in compiling and configuring the graphic system, server tools, window managers, desktops and applications. It is called Beyond Linux From Scratch (BLFS) and both versions are updated at the same time.

Earlier this month the latest version was released: Linux From Scratch 8.3 and Beyond Linux From Scratch 8.3. Among other novelties, it incorporates updates in the base software and improvements in the documentation related to systemd.

The project website includes other subprojects that can help expand knowledge about Linux. For example, Cross Linux From Scratch, which explains the cross-compilation in different architectures or Automated Linux From Scratch, which explains how to automate compilations in LFS and BLFS.

How to avoid issues with virtual machines

Virtualization comes with a wide range of benefits for organizations. It helps cut IT costs and reduces downtime while increasing efficiency and productivity. It also increases the resiliency of networks, primarily when disasters occur, and promotes more green-friendly operations.

However, using virtual machines also comes with a set of downsides. Information security may get compromised, workloads mixed up, separation duties lost, among other issues. It is vital to know how you can get over these problems, and that’s what this article will discuss.
