+#+TITLE: Carbs Linux
+#+DESCRIPTION: a simple Linux distribution
+#+OPTIONS: title:nil
+
+Carbs Linux is a source-based Linux\reg distribution that aims to be simple,
+flexible and extensible while staying as pragmatic and practical as possible.
+The system can consist of as much or as little as its user can intend to.
+
+* Package Manager
+
+Carbs Linux uses its own package manager [[https://github.com/CarbsLinux/cpt][Carbs Packaging Tools]], a POSIX shell
+package manager forked from KISS with the tool-based approach of xbps.
+
+
+* Small base
+
+By default, Carbs Linux comes with busybox for coreutils, bearssl for its
+crypto library, musl libc, and other basic utilities that are required for
+building new software. The majority of the base packages are statically linked.
+
+
+* Multiple Init Support
+
+Carbs Linux has support for multiple init systems and service supervisors. In
+the main repository are
+
+- =sinit=
+- =busybox-init= (SysVinit clone)
+- =runit-init=
+
+for init systems, and
+
+- =sysmgr=
+- =busybox-runit=
+- =runit=
+
+for service supervisors. The [[https://github.com/CarbsLinux/repository/tree/master/core/carbs-init][carbs-init]] package is the collection of init
+scripts that ensure the interoperability of these init and service systems, and
+make it easier for the user to switch to their preferred combinations of system
+supervision.
+
+Nothing holds you back, however, from ditching any of these and packaging some
+other system supervision technique along with your own init scripts.
