As stated earlier, I’m now focusing on the existing content of my (work-in-progress) ebook called Linux Sea (PDF, HTML). I’m going to add more text where appropriate, add exercises to each chapter as well as references to online resources.
When that’s finished, I’ll probably be writing a chapter on installing Gentoo Linux as that’s a major end-user topic that isn’t discussed yet (but luckily, there’s still the Gentoo Handbook).
Hi Sven, this book is very nice.
I would like to know if you will cover some technical issue, like the bootstraping or the recompilation of the toolchain.
I know that you have wrote in the past this guide : http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/draft/bootstrapping-guide.xml
and I sure that you can tell us some info about this subject.
Great work :P
I don’t think I’ll be covering that subject in this book. Not that I don’t find the subject interesting (or challenging ;-) but I would want to keep the book on a level that almost all Gentoo users can read (and learn) from it. In my opinion, bootstrapping or toolchain recompilation should either not occur, or should occur in the background (during system updates) without much intervention of the end user.
