We successfully conducted some experiments in which we mixed the kernel from one distribution with the userland of another one. We found that the procedure works well, except for a few issues. In this article, I will summarize the solutions.

How to have a working Alpine Linux installed on bare metal.

Have you ever wondered what is the magic behind a live Linux distribution? We are going to recap all the basics and develop a simple proof of concept to validate our understanding.

Is it possible to install Slackware Linux when Secure Boot is enabled? Is it possible to install it in a chroot when running another Linux distribution? In this article I will review how Slackware is structured, how its installation works and how to perform a custom installation in a chroot jail (useful for Secure Boot or to create a Docker container for example).

Alpine Linux was on my list of lightweight distributions to check. From what I was reading around I thought it was only suitable for containers, but the test I ran in this article proved me wrong.

I was looking for a lightweight DjVu reader and I ended up learning about Linux Frambuffer and how simple can be to write a PDF/djVu reader in C

When I started playing with Linux, installing a dual boot system was the standard: back in the days we were talking about BIOS, the first 512 bytes of a disk (the Master Boot Record) and Bootloaders like LILO. Today EFI, GPT and Secure Boot have introduced a new layer of complexity and we need to update our knowledge. Let’s do this with this article.

For some people, learning Git can be a challenge. This series of articles will help new learners and people who has a hard time getting it intuitively
