Welcome to Lombix OS
This is a GNU/Linux OS entirely compiled from scratch. Based on the LFS project , but with some different ideas of mine: forinstance, I like to have all the files in well known places, so I can quickly know each binary and library where it belongs to. This is achieved by compiling everything into its own folder, with , of course, a few "exceptions" for practical reasons and a small "compatibility layer"

There is no package manager, but there is a little tool to assist with the "build" of each an any package installed in the system
lmbx

All the "recipes" to compile all the packages are available at /usr/share/lmbx , if you find a name , let's say "usbutils", you can "rebuild" that package by issuing "as root"
lmbx -p usbutils

The reason why I started this is to actually have some fun, increase my understanding on different bits and pieces about the GNU/Linux world and , let's say, some nostagia from those time where I was understanding what was going on on my computers. Nowadays the amount of "stuff" that runs to make things easier to the average user overwhelmes me, it actually causes on me the contrary effect. Yes, I could start using Slackware or other systems alike , but, hey, why not doing one myself ? Since the last 5 years I've been running my own system and finally I decided to "package it" and made it available for everybody. Hope you might enjoy it
