Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with step-by-step instructions for building your own custom Linux system, entirely from source code.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, the Linux From Scratch organization consists of the following subprojects:

* LFS :: Linux From Scratch is the main book, the base from which all other projects are derived.

* BLFS :: Beyond Linux From Scratch helps you extend your finished LFS installation into a more customized and usable system.

* ALFS :: Automated Linux From Scratch provides tools for automating and managing LFS and BLFS builds.

* CLFS :: Cross Linux From Scratch provides the means to cross-compile an LFS system on many types of systems.

* HLFS :: Hardened Linux From Scratch focuses on building an LFS system with heightened security.

* Hints :: The Hints project is a collection of documents that explain how to enhance your LFS system in ways that are not included in the LFS or BLFS books.

* LiveCD :: The LiveCD project provides a CD that is useful as an LFS build host or as a general rescue CD.

* Patches :: The Patches project serves as a central repository for all patches useful to an LFS user.

What is exeLib? exeLib is the fastest growing, most accurate, database of executable programs. Each program is stored in the database with some information: the file name, description, the effects, the risk factor, and a few other pieces of information, this information is then displayed to you in a readable, easy to use fashion.



Why do you need exeLib? Well, the most common usage is to check what's running on your computer. By checking your task manager, then looking up executables on here, you can find information about each process on your computer, then, work on figuring out which you need, which you don't need, and which you really don't want on the computer - then remove them.


What if an executable isn't in the database? That problem isn't quite as common as you may think, our database is consistantly being added to, and updated by experts in the networking and computer science fields and the majority of really common executables are already in there. Some of the rarer stuff is not in the database yet, but, as said before, our database is growing at a rapid rate.
