Probably a long way from being daily-driven, but I really love the idea.

    What’s the goal? By the blurb I’d guess it’s a minimal server distro.

      From interview: it started as a research project. The author wanted a distribution that uses the least system resources with maximum performance.
      He started with archlinux, moved on to gentoo and to go even deeper - found the infamous “linux from scratch” and started to shape his own distro.

        Cool but… what’s it intended to do? Is it Intended as a daily driver? Something like Damn Small Linux? Or what?

          Given they mention arch and gentoo, I suppose they intend it as a daily driver / desktop.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
