Venom Linux =========== Venom Linux is a source based linux distribution built from scratch make for daily use targetting experienced users. This distro is inspired by CRUX (crux.nu) of its simplicity and KISS philosophy and i am CRUX fan and was core user before i started this distro. This distro is use runit as main init and BSD-like ports system for packages. Packages is managed by my own package manager called scratchpkg that has dependencies checking and its full written in POSIX shell script, so it might slower than any package manager existed but it works :) Features ======== I admit theres is so many great distro out there, and Venom Linux is still far from them. But other distros does not suit my OS requirement for my life thats why i started Venom Linux :) Here is features of Venom Linux (other distro might already have this but i want to list it anyway!) - highly customizable - multilib (yes, steam and wine is in the repo, just run the magic word to install it) - you can create your own repos and ports on top of existing one - writing package's port is dead simple - packages is latest stable/development - rolling release - man pages is compressed - libtool (*.la) files is removed - binaries and libraries is stripped - precompiled packages can be installed to other machines (used with scratchpkg) - get rid of junks (info pages, locales, and etc) Quick Guide/Installation/Configuration ====================================== Venom installation can be done by running 'venom-installer' from terminal/tty Login for live iso ------------------ user : venom password : venom user : root password : root System configuration -------------------- Edit /etc/runit/runit.conf to configure timezone, clock, font and keymap. Installation using the iso should configured this already. Services --------------- services script is placed in /etc/sv/ directory. enabling service is by make a symlink from /etc/sv/<service> to /var/service disabling service is by removing symlink created in /var/service scratchpkg (the package manager) -------------------------------- Run 'scratch help' from the terminal to see available options, anyway heres the quick usage: install - # scratch install pkg1 pkg2 pkgN remove - # scratch remove pkg1 pkg2 pkgN upgrade - # scratch upgrade pkg1 pkg2 pkgN search package - # scratch search pattern update ports database - # scratch sync full upgrade - # scratch sysup install from precompiled package - # pkgadd pkg-version.spkg.txz check for broken packages - # revdep update configuration file - # updateconf IMPORTANT NOTE ============== - vim is default installed terminal text editor - you are advised to update ports database and make full upgrade at first install - also, you are advised to run 'revdep' after upgrade/remove packages from system - optionally run 'updateconf' after package upgrade to update package's configuration files Checkout my github page if you interested in development You can contact me on my email if you need talk about this distro github: https://github.com/venomlinux email: emmett1.2miligrams@gmail.com
