You may have heard about Linux From Scratch, a project dedicated for those who wants to build their own GNU/Linux operating system from scratch.

But now let’s hear from Debian From Scratch (DFS) , based on Debian GNU/Linux operating system. Though not exactly related to Linux From Scratch project, DFS is a full rescue CD capable of working with all major filesystems, LVM, software RAID, and even compiling a new kernel.

DFS has full recovery tools ranging from filesystem utilities for all major filesystems, partition editors, text editors, full networking support, CD/DVD burning tools and many more.

DFS also includes a set of tools that enable you to generate your own customised rescue CD based on DFS. Debian From Scratch is maintained by John Goerzen and can be downloaded from it’s official website : http://people.debian.org/~jgoerzen/dfs/html/dfs.html
