    Create Your Own Customized Linux Kernel

    Here are three articles that explain and describe the process of creating your own Customized Linux Kernel. You may want to do this for a number of reasons, including these: to access extra functionality, to remove unneeded features, to obtain better performance, to assist with testing new Linux patches, or because you want to know and understand more about how the Linux kernel works and is compiled. I think you will discover that it's fun to build a kernel that is created only your CPU and supports only the hardware and specific features that you want it to.


    Linux: Custom Kernels Trim Fat and Tune Performance

    This is a 2 page article that describes, at a high level, the process of customizing a Linux kernel for your needs. With not a lot of effort, you can build a better Linux kernel than what came with your Linux distribution, and one that's tuned to your hardware's needs. You can get freshly-baked kernels and the latest patches from Kernel.org. These are called vanilla kernels because this is where the original, unmodified kernels live. Then you need to assemble your build environment. Both Fedora and Debian make this easy.


    Linux: Custom Kernels with Debian and Fedora

    Fedora and Debian make building a custom kernel and packaging it for rollout a simple process. This article shows you how to use Debian and Fedora to customizing your Linux kernel. It explains and reviews some of the many kernel compilation options you need to consider.


    Compiling a Custom Linux Kernel

     - Intro and Gathering Information
     - Part 2 - Preparing the Source Tree
     - Part 3 - Configuring the Kernel Source
     - Part 3 Continued - Configuring the Kernel
     - Part 4 - Building the Kernel
     - Part 5 - Installing the Kernel
     - Part 6 - Editing the Boot Loader Configuration
     - Reboot the Machine (and Enjoy)
     - Appendix A - Patching the Kernel Source
     - Appendix B - Building a 2.6 Kernel
     - Appendix C - Additional Notes as 2.6 Develops
     - Appendix D - Using the Initrd

    This article describes in a detailed, step-by-step approach, how to build a custom Linux kernel for your server or desktop machine. You will learn how to optimize the kernel for your computer's processor, and make the kernel only support the drivers and features that you require. You also may want to add support for a Linux feature that is missing from your distribution's kernel, or to get a some hardware to work correctly. Your finished Linux kernal will be smaller in size, it will run faster, and it will have all the fixes and enhancements found in the latest stable version.

    Here are some more Linux Kernel Resources:

     - Debian Kernel Handbook
     - KernelNewbies.org
     - Kernel.org
     - You may want to try the dphys- kernel-packages package for creating configuation files for automating the creation of custom kernels

    Xpressionsz eBooks Heaven

    Here is  Xpressionsz - The eBooks Heaven. This site calls itself the internet's biggest and best collection of ebooks. They do have a very large selection of over 7,000 freely available ebook pages on their site, with many categories to select from. One thing that is different about this site is that the links are not actually hyperlinks that will take you to the ebooks, but instead only text links, meaning you have to copy and paste them into your broswer. Also, some of the links are truncated by the brower's table rendering, so to get them you need to look at the web page's source code.

    Building a Linux Server and LAMP on Ubuntu

    Here are three helpful Linux learning documents that recently were posted on the web: 1) a 2-part Guide on How to Build a Linux Server, 2) a 2-part Tutorial on Installing and Configuring LAMP on Ubuntu, and 3) a Linux Command Cheat Sheet.


    1) Guide on How to Build a Linux Server - Part 1

    This 2-part tutorial guide will show you how to build a home file server running Xubuntu Linux, with a web interface, bit-torrent, and accessible from anywhere. It needs to be fast, extensible, and flexible. One of the strengths of Linux is it's a great OS to run on low power and older hardware. That's because the strength of Linux lies in its Command Line Interface (CLI). Because many things in Linux are done through the editing of small files, there is often no need for a GUI interface. With a relative small number of commands you can totally change the functioning of a Linux system. CLI isn't hard to learn and the Linux “man” pages provide a convenient way for learning it,.

    This illustrated Linux tutorial shows and demonstrates how to install a Linux home file server, with remote administration, runing without a monitor. Also, a web-based P2P solution is set up to run on the box. This tutorial also gets into the area of scripting. Scripting is one of the features that Linux has over Windows, as most tasks can be automated through scripts.

    Build Your Own Xubuntu Linux Server - Part 2

    The second part provides details for some more server applications, such as Webmin, SFTP and making the server reachable from the Internet.

    2) Installing and configuring LAMP on Ubuntu - Part 1

    In this multi-part article, I’m going to be showing you how to install the popular LAMP stack - that’s Linux, Apache, the MySQL database system and PHP (in this example, although you can have Perl, Python etc. instead) for running your own website or web development server.

    Installing and configuring LAMP on Ubuntu - Part 2
    • Changing your homepage and adding content
    • Testing that PHP is working
    • Installing PHPMyAdmin
    • Installing web applications (WordPress)

    3) Here is a one page Unix/Linux Command Reference cheat sheet     that will help you get along on the command line.
