presented new leaders of manuals Linux from Scratch 11.3 (LFS) and BEYOND Linux from Scratch 11.3 (BLFS), as well as LFS and BLFS editors with Systemd system manager. Linux from Scratch provides instructions for creating the base Linux system from zero, using only the initial texts of the necessary software. Beyond Linux from Scratch supplements LFS instructions with information on the assembly and setting up about 1000 software packages covering various areas of application, from DBMS and server systems to graphic shells and media players. and the Linux 6.1.11, Systemd 252, Sysvinit 3.06, Bash 5.2.15, Grep 3.8, Inetutils 2.4, Meson 1.0.0, Openssl 3.0.8, Python 3.11.2, TPL 8.6.13, VIM 9.0.1273. Fixed errors in loading scripts, editorial work in explanatory materials throughout the book was performed.
In Beyond Linux from Scratch 11.3, 1357 updates were noted, including GNOME 43, XFCE 4.18, KDE Plasma 5.26.5, KDE GEARS 22.12.2, Libreoffice 7.5, FMPEG 5.1.2, InkSCApe 1.2.2, Thunderbird 102.8. , Firefox 102.8.0, Seamonkey 2.53.15, Icewm 3.3.1, Openbox 3.6.1, Mesa 22.3.5, GTK 4.8.3, Mariadb 10.6.12, PostgreSQL 15.2, Postfix 3.7.4, EXIM 4.96, BIND 9.18. 12, apache httpd 2.4.55, etc. Added the Intel-Media-Driver driver (Intel Media Driver for VAAPI) for hardware acceleration of coding and decoding video on systems with CPU Intel Broadwell and newer models.
In addition to LFS and BLFS, several additional books were previously published as part of the project:
- “ automated linux from scratch ” – Freimvork for automation of the assembly of LFS systems and package management;
- “ Cross Linux from Scratch ” – Description of the cross -platform assembly of the LFS systems, architectures are supported: x86, x86_64, sparc, mips, powerpc, alpha , HPPA, ARM;
- “ hardened linux from scratch ” – instructions for improving LFS security, applying additional patches and restrictions;
- “ lfs hints ” – a selection of additional tips with a description of alternative solutions for LFS and BLFS steps.
