AryaLinux: Another interesting Distro built under Linux From Scratch
Continuing with the diffusion wave of Free and Open Distributions that are not so well known, but they are usually interesting projects, just like yesterday we talked about Serenity OS, today we will talk about aryalinux.
An interesting fact of aryalinux is that, among the hundreds and perhaps thousands of GNU / Linux Distros or similar around the world, it currently occupies the table of Top 100 of the last 6 months de DistroWatch. So, it was one more reason to choose her.
Linux From Scratch (LFS): Project to create your own Linux Distros
Such as Serenity OS, Arya Linux is a Linux Distro From Scratch (LFS), that is, it is built following the steps and knowledge provided by the LFS and BLFS books or guides, and a little more according to its own developers.
It is worth noting, for those who could not be clear or not know anything about what is the LFS project, which the same is, according to our previous related post called «Linux From Scratch (LFS): Project to create your own Linux Distros":
"A project that provides you step-by-step instructions to build your own custom Linux system, completely from source code.
"A way to install a GNU / Linux System by developing all the components manually. This is naturally a longer process than installing a precompiled Linux Distribution. According to the Linux From Scratch site, the advantages of this method are a compact, flexible and secure system, which provides a great knowledge of how a GNU / Linux Operating System works in its entirety.".

Conclusion
We hope this "useful little post" about another interesting and little known LFS Distro call «AryaLinux», which is usually striking due to its modern interface based on GNOME 3.36 on a foundation entirely built from source code for packages, libraries, and applications that are publicly available over the Internet; is of great interest and utility, for the entire «Comunidad de Software Libre y Código Abierto» and of great contribution to the diffusion of the wonderful, gigantic and growing ecosystem of applications of «GNU/Linux».
