Thank you a lot for your reply, Corona688. I guess I have a lot of learning to do about various types of kernels, packages, upgrades, etc.

I had asked the same question on Ubuntu Forums, they said I should first create a working system based on LFS first and then create something unique. And also I can help with the ongoing projects from DistroWatch.com

What is your favorite Linux distro?

What is your favorite Linux distro? and possibly why? Personally, I have Fedora 3 on my computer. I have used Ubuntu and Slackware, too. But I think I liked Ubuntu more, maybe because of its speed and easy installation of packages. (192 Replies)

NAME
update-boinc-applinks - create/remove symbolic links for anonymous BOINC applications SYNOPSIS
update-boinc-applinks [options] DESCRIPTION
update-boinc-applinks creates (or removes) symbolic links for anonymous BOINC applications and their associated app_info.xml files in a given BOINC data directory. Note: update-boinc-applinks is an extension for Debian users and is only available in Debian's boinc-client package. OPTIONS
For a full summary of options, run update-boinc-applinks --help. -h, --help Show help message and all options. --create Create symbolic links and project directories. --remove Remove symbolic links and empty project directories. --data-dir=DIR Manage symbolic links in the given directory DIR. If this option is not present, DIR defaults to the current working directory. --project=PROJECT Manage symbolic links only for the given project PROJECT. Run update-boinc-applinks --list-projects to get a list of projects for which anonymous applications are available and therefore can be replaced with PROJECT. If this option is not present, update-boinc- applinks will manage symbolic links for all available projects. --list-projects Show a list of projects for which anonymous applications are available. Normally those applications are provided by packages called boinc-app-PROJECT (e.g. boinc-app-seti). AUTHOR
