Linux From Scratch is a way to install a system GNU / Linux developing all components manually. This is naturally a longer process than installing a Linux distribution precompiled. According to the site of Linux From Scratch, the advantages of this method are a compact, flexible and secure system and provides great knowledge of how a GNU / Linux operating system works.

LFS is a project that all linuxers we must know, it is about compiling, creating, packaging and customizing our own distribution to the point of boredom. Normally this distribution is oriented for two types of users, the elite and the curious (I include myself in the latter) and makes the installation of Arch (which on the other hand is quite simple).
This project, like any good project, has great documentation but it is in English, so for Spanish-speaking users (From the sides of the pond) it is a bit more complex, especially for those who overwhelm us with so much English page. Unfortunately, the translation of LFS It got stuck in version 6.3 and we are currently on 7.4, the manual is about 340 pages, which for a server, is a lot of work and taking advantage of this speaker that is DesdeLinux, I would like to propose this project.
We would need translators and proofreaders, the more we are, the less work we will have to do individually and the sooner we will finish. Those who sign up, leave a comment here and / or send me an email to carlos.sgude [at] gmail [dot] com with the title [LFS translation], when we are a few, I will create a mailing list and we will begin to distribute the work.
Obviously, I will get in touch with the previous project, through their mailing lists, to see if we can revive it and add more people.
I believe that these types of projects are important and that a community as rich as the Hispanic community, which does not have a version for our language, seems fatal to me and I think we should find a solution.

Postscript:
I leave you a video that I saw recently, from 0 to KDE with SPF:
Your initiative seems great to me. If we get to a good number, COUNT ON ME. I emphasize the good number because I do not have much time, and if it turns out that the volume of work is very large I will have to get off the hook, but first I SIGN UP.
At the moment, we are 1 person (a server) until I have 5 or 6 people, I will not do anything, but I will point you (also, send me an email to keep you safe)
Man, one more from Vigo !!! 😀
I'm in. Although I consider myself an advanced user, what is the operation, I do not handle, Linux is too big for me, but I am good at writing, so I offer myself as a proofreader if you like.
Taste taste, compatriot xD
email sent 😀
I sign up = D I have previously followed the LFS book, I was also terrified of the contrast to the installation of arch «Simple»
Actually it is not that complex, (let's see it is not windows) you just have to put the commands and go knowing what they do. Once you get the base system (30 min with a good internet connection) it is easier, if you have doubts you can always connect to the Arch wiki with lynks and follow the steps.
They sold Arch to me as a very complex installation, but it doesn't seem like a big deal to me.
Exactly yes sir, arch installation is simple and it is worth knowing that you have to take into account what each command does.
I installed Arch in exactly half an hour, and another half hour to put the finishing touches on. Between Arch and Slackware, they are the best KISS distros that I have enjoyed so far.
It sounds great, there is a project called Duolingo, it consists of people who are learning English translate internet pages, pass the proposal of this page there, so from the start you will have thousands of translators and proofreaders, make the proposal
I sign up, I don't know much about Linux yet, but I want to learn about it because it fascinates me, I am also one of those who is overwhelmed by reading so many pages in English, obviously I know English, at an intermediate level, but I would prefer to read more information on my own Language is better in many ways.
my email is: Candhich [@] gmail

I sign up from La Coruña. This is a project that I have always liked and that I really wanted, but it was becoming very big for me alone. Regards.
I understand that a translation by google is not very reliable. but it is understood very well, to use for the moment.
I'm in! I have already sent the mail, however I agree with woqer, I do not have much time, so I could not assume a large workload.
Hello, from Granada. If things are well organized, you can count on me.
regards
If you get a good amount of volunteers, count on me 😀
I'll sign up if they still need people 🙂
Sign me up, put my exaggerated taste for spelling, grammar and writing to good use.
I'm in ,
I'm sorry, it was repeated
I sign up, sign me up
Good luck with your project, I would really like to contribute but I consider that my level of English, not so basic, is not at the level of what a technical translation requires.
And also congratulate you because yours is the only purposeful post that has appeared on this blog (once so good) for a long time
You can be an editor, you can run the wiki, you can do a lot of things, send me your email and we will surely make room for you !!
I would but I'm in a period of extreme vagrancy XD
By the way, installing Gentoo from stage1 is very similar
I am a gentoo user, I wanted a little bit and believe me, a little more and I would have overthrown Debian from my heart as a good distro that it is, it leaves arch very, very behind.
I sign up, email sent. 🙂
I am starting with linux. My level of English is intermediate (I am preparing level B2). If I can help you my email is mandarinafly@outlook.es.
regards
Regards,
I have a fairly acceptable knowledge of English and I love Linux.
Join the group
I make myself available.
There's another hand for you 🙂.
Count on me.
Very good initiative! I see that there are many interested parties. This post should be included in the "Recommended" section
Hello, I have intermediate English knowledge, a little more advanced, and in Linux I quite hope to be able to collaborate, at the moment I have time, but later I will not have that much time.

Hello, I would like to collaborate, I think the comment was not sent the previous time, I have an intermediate level, a little more advanced in English, and I have known Linux for a long time, my email is elu1996@hotmail.es
I also sign up!
I sign up for the translation.
When and how do we start?
I'm in. I want to contribute my grain of sand even if it is small.
I also sign up
I am currently an Archlinux user, it seems to me an excellent distro, maybe I will soon migrate to Gentoo which is my next challenge and as I recently read the following:
as I read in a forum that in the life of a linuxero it is like this:
ubuntu, fedora, opensuse, etc ..> school
Archlinux, slackware, crux> preparatory (or college)
Gentoo> university
LFS [linux from scratch]> PhD
hahahaha it's not to be taken seriously, but as you can see, the difficulty levels xD
from Helena Ryuu in her G + (https://plus.google.com/u/0/111770502894592063090/posts/gYnGSVdErPW), for me the most complicated distro within Gnu / Linux up to that day was Gentoo, but never in my life as a user have I heard about LFS, I was interested, I started looking for information and I also thought the same, today I read this post and I wonder if something was achieved, I include myself in the group right now I send the email, I would like to know what the result is
regards
Apensas I find out, if I can still help.
If a good number arrive, write me down because I have an acceptable level of English and I know the Linux system well, and I have also followed the book and I know a package management system that works with sources or with binaries called nhopkg, here is the link: http://www.nhopkg.org/ y http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/nhopkg, also the graphical manager nhopkg-fe and the link: http://http://nhopkg-fe.sourceforge.net/ y http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/nhopkg-fe.
Hello, I am a linux user, I am not very good at English (low level in Spain), but I need that manual in Spanish yes or yes and I need it in a few months I have to do a project to create my linux distro and it I need, if I could help contact me without problems, I will give you answers, and thank you.
Hello, I am interested in the translation, the recent version is 10.
Greetings.
