 Package Manager
 ---------------
 
-Carbs Linux is built upon the world's best Linux distribution 
-[KISS Linux](https://getkiss.org) and uses [kiss](https://github.com/kisslinux/kiss)
-as its package manager, which has proven to be extremely flexible. I aim to move Carbs
-to an even more suckless path.
+Carbs Linux uses its own fork of the [kiss package manager] which is an extremely
+flexible package manager.
 
 
-Sane defaults
--------------
+Small base
+----------
 
-By default, Carbs Linux comes with busybox for coreutils, runit as the system 
-supervisor, and sinit as the init, though nothing holds you from changing any
-of them.
+By default, Carbs Linux comes with busybox for coreutils, and basic utilities
+for building new software. The rootfs tarball is not bigger than 40MB.
+
+
+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 `carbs-init` package is the collection of
+init scripts that ensure the interoperatability 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.
