Hello all, I'm developing a prototype build system for GNU+Linux that can be used stand-alone or as the base for other more refined distributions with specialized goals. My impetus is to have a flexible design for a system I would love administering. The vision for my project is to be to Archlinux what gNewSense is to Ubuntu.
I will not be creating any public repositories for binary redistributable packages (although others may wish to do so). I only intend to maintain a collection of scripted build instructions, an init system, admin tools, and compiled programs that can be used to compile and manage a GNU+Linux system from source with fine controls and minimal fuss. I don't have any set goals for size, speed, or user application. I'm not worried about being the most minimal, fastest, or convenient distribution. Because my design is focused on versatility and flexibility, I expect its greatest utility will be as a distribution maker's distribution and basesystem. I've named my project _GNU+Linux from Source Code_, a fully free meta-distribution of the GNU+Linux operating system. Bryan
