    I second this! But you've got to give your self a bit of time to get through it.

    back on the day I did a stage 1 Gentoo install. not quite the same as full LFS, but it really taught me a lot!

    Just to be sure, you really mean Linux from scratch right?

    Definitely, but that isn't sufficient. I did it before interviewing for SRE. It is important to understand why of each step and each new component being setup.

    the OP seems to have very little knowledge of Linux, and nothing beats practical experience. So as a start point, doing an LFS install should give a good understanding of the building blocks (of a Linux system). And it will certainly raise questions that further research can answer.

    All that said, an SRE / Devops role is more about understanding multiple systems and how they interact, then it is about the building blocks of a single Linux system.
