Description:
CRUX 2.2 is operating systems linux distri software developed by Crux Team.
CRUX is a lightweight, i686-optimized Linux distribution targeted at experienced Linux users.
The primary focus of this distribution is "keep it simple", which is reflected in a simple tar.gz-based package system, BSD-style initscripts, and a relatively small collection of trimmed packages.
The secondary focus is utilization of new Linux features and recent tools and libraries. CRUX also has a ports system which makes it easy to install and upgrade applications.
There are many Linux distributions out there these days, so what makes this distribution any better than the others? Well, it's all about taste really. I can give you a hint about my taste, and perhaps we share the same taste, or we don't.
First of all, I want a distribution made with simplicity in mind from beginning to end. Further, I want my packages up-to-date, not the latest bleeding-edge-alpha version, but the latest stable version. I want to easily create new and update old packages (updating a package in CRUX is often just a matter of typing pkgmk -d -u).
I want packages optimized for my processor (think -march=i686). I don't want my filesystem cluttered with files I never use (think /usr/doc/, etc). If I need more information about a specific program, other than information found on the man-page, I'll find it on the net. And finally, I want to use new features offered by recent Linux kernels (think devfs, reiserfs, ext3fs, etc).
If you are a somewhat experienced Linux user that wants a clean and solid Linux distribution as the foundation of your installation, prefers editing configuration files with an editor to using a GUI, and doesn't hesitate to download and compile programs yourself, then this distribution might suit you well.
What's New in This Release:
Switched from devfs to udev to support current kernels
New rsync based ports backend
'base' ports collection renamed to core
'contrib' is now a user contributed collection
Updates worth mentioning:
GCC 4.0.3
GNU C Library 2.3.6
X11R6.9
CRUX 2.2 supports different languages (including english). It works with Linux.
Downloading CRUX 2.2 will take several seconds if you use fast ADSL connection.
