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!
We're in the home stretch, and you've got what feels like a real computer. In this task, we'll build the Firefox web browser, install Java, install the Open Office.org office tool set, set up your wi-fi GUI, and introduce you to Community Driven Linux From Scratch (which we've visited a few times already).
