Hi All,

TL;DR: We should continue to hold strong to the UNIX Philosophy and all that it embodies.

Apologies in advance if this is a controversial topic for some :P

----

Basically I believe we (CRUX) are likely one of the only distributions left that support and use the Linux kernel (aside from Gentoo and a few other well known distros) that still continue to provide the best UNIX/Linux computing environment. (In our case BSD-ish).

Going forward I'd like to write up a wiki page and/or update the frontpage of our website a bit to reflect this as it's becoming apparent to me that this is becoming a clear stand-out feature of CRUC of late (because of what things like systemd are doing to other distributions, etc).

Great idea, James.

Do we have a documented list of things that make up the CRUX Philosophy or "Zen of CRUX"? If not we should :) It *could* include some of the things from the UNIX Philosophy itself perhaps.

Let's keep CRUX a strong, simple, portable small system with the best of tools and software available in the Open Source communities.

I am a common user. I started from scratch at the end of last year. By now I got a reasonable evolution. I have learned (and I still learn) a lot. So, it did not take a long time and Crux became my main distro despite there are still some pending issues to be solved. I hope to contribute soon, if possible, from the perspective of a common but very satisfied user. cheers

James
