Introduction ------------ CRUX is a lightweight, i686-optimized Linux distribution targeted at experienced Linux users. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Can we also at least mention that there are ports of CRUX for PowerPC, OpenBSD and ARM? It's also possible to optimize it for i586 or an Athlon XP or whatever because the CRUX ports system / philosophy is just flexible enough to work on all platforms.
It is implied that a user can optimize / configure the base system to their required specifications. The kicker being that the user is responsible for maintaining the system, not the official crux maintainers, at least if the settings differ significantly from what is provided. The devs are only supposed to produce a base system and the most common software, from where the user continues and expands as needed. A few of the crux "ports" you refer to are already linked [1]. They are unofficial and do not fall under the responsibility of crux itself. This has the potential to cause unnecessary confusion _IF_ they were displayed more prominently. I would consider this to directly fall into place with the user finding what is needed and without relying on something or someone to hold their hand during the process. [1] http://crux.nu/Main/Links
