-A rasonably simple
LinuxDistribution based on the idea that the sysadmin
knows what they're doing so they're welcome to go
and do it. Until recently didn
't bother
with package management
, you had
a compiler
and you knew how
to use it, so why bother?
+The oldest [
LinuxDistribution|LinuxDistributions] still around and
based on the idea that the SysAdmin
knows what they're doing and doesn
't need handholding from configuration tools. It aims to be as close to Unix as possible and complies
with the published Linux standards like the FileSystemStandard. Stability is another high priority. The PackageManagement format is as simple as it gets - plain old [TarBall]s of the files to install
, plus an installation script. The bottom line is
a distro that requires some legwork at installation time, but is just about unbreakable
and practically never fails installing at least
to the point where you have a workable system in your hands.
