Background: | ||
|
||
I've had this idea of writing a book on Core, fully current for one release, with chapters | ||
describing the internals, some on projects to use Core for, some focusing on boot time etc. | ||
I was thinking both the pdf and ascii sources would be freely available online, dead tree | ||
version available at some cost. | ||
|
||
My schedule is fairly full for this year, so it'll probably get started next year. | ||
|
||
|
||
Initial section divide: | ||
|
||
Part I - intro, basic use | ||
Part II - advanced use | ||
Part III - internals | ||
Part IV - project topics (chapters on how to do a specific setup) | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
----------- | ||
|
||
I'm envisioning Part IV as a collection of use cases, supplied by users describing their own | ||
systems in some detail? A general purpose desktop, a samba server, a web server, a portable | ||
boot device, etc etc etc. | ||
|
||
If its not too far out of scope, I'd be interested in a PART V describing some of the | ||
remixes that are out there... not so much for the creators of such to tout their own | ||
distribution but to describe the "why" and the "how" of remastering. Maybe enlist Svolli, | ||
JLS, Grandma and/or some others it they are willing? And including personal, undistributed | ||
remasters, again assuming a willing author can be found. | ||
|
||
Chapters or sections pertaining to very new hardware (missing drivers and such) and very old | ||
hardware (can't boot from USB, low memory and such) would probably be of interest. |
