CRUX LInux and the UNIX Philosophy
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). 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. cheers James James Mills / prologic E: prologic@shortcircuit.net.au W: prologic.shortcircuit.net.au

I readily support this initiative, and I would like to offer my help in writing wiki pages concerning CRUX. :) Rexich

I cannot image any subscriber having issues with this.

We need do nothing more than wait out the systemd aberation. I expect a day is coming when non-systemd users find themselves alone in using their Linux systems as usual. The real question is how much Internet infrastructure will be out of service that day. -- <not cent from sell> May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!

I'm starting writing some information in Portuguese, I plan to have small forum for Portuguese speakers.

I will use your sentence with minimal changes on introduction text ;)

Thanks Crux Contributors,
From very happy user, Silvino
As a simple user who switched from Arch to Crux after Arch lost its 'kiss', I'm fully with you. Xavier Colmant
I agree with the idea of making the "no-systemd" stance more visible. Having seen accounts from a couple of people who went to BSD based on systemd and like changes, this seems to be a selling point that might draw notice.
