Linux From Scratch in Rust
summary
A Rust-based Linux distribution project that implements a build system, user-space utilities, and a simple package manager, with focus on the core user-space toolbox. Covers concrete engineering challenges encountered while writing system utilities in Rust—handling standard I/O, choosing dynamic dispatch versus static generics, and testing/coverage issues—within a zero-abstraction, memory-safe systems context.
