We met tonight but you can join us on June 3 at 7PM at Battky Howell.

LFS stands for Linux From Scratch (see www.linuxfromscratch.org for 
details), which is a project where you build
a Linux system from scratch.  We've done that in the study group and now 
we're looking at automating the build process that can be used
to build a distro.
