This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
GNU/Linux can be a little overwhelming, because it's so big and powerful. While much less true today with Ubuntu, Mint, and other desktop Linux distributions, there is an old fashioned idea from the days when GNU/Linux was young that the easiest way to learn how to use it was to build it. Even today, I believe there is some truth to this attitude. So join me as you create a working, cross-compiled operating system and learn how it works along the way. It's probably easier than you think!
Now that I've got you a build environment set up, I'm going to turn you loose on the book. I'm going to be doing this myself starting June 11th, and will pop up with any notes and "gotchas". If you run into any problems, please use the comments page here. We're here to help each other learn.
And as always, if you run into problems, please refer to the previous tasks.
