Unfortunately, debootstrap is distributed as a deb, which is a gzipped tarball inside an ar. Whic is OK, unless you can't get hold of the ancient ar extractor. In short, static binaries are wonderful.

There is a little bug at the right of the page. I can scroll horizontally and then I see a little white space at the top right. I'm on Firefox 17. If you need a screenshot, just ask me.

The home page does not mention any community links. The installation guideline suggests using the Arch installer. That's fine, but I'd just like to mention that I always found it fascinating how you can install Arch by booting any Linux system you have at hand (an existing installation or some live cd), download a static build of pacman, mount the partition you want to install on, and simply run; ./pacman -S base -r /mnt All the best with this new distro. -Truls

Also, may I recommend s6 as the init system? It follows the suckless philosophy: mionimal, does exactly what is needed and is stable. http://www.skarnet.org/software/s6/why.html -- Warm Regards Prakhar Goel LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/newt0311

Re: [dev] Starch has a web site
Have you thought of using something like NIX? The implementation sucks but the idea there: completely reproducible builds is incredible. -- Warm Regards Prakhar Goel LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/newt0311
Re: [dev] Starch has a web site
I am interested too. If you'll avoid systemd, dbus and similar stuff, I'll think about contribution. > Hello all.
