<p>
Carbs Linux is a source-based Linux® 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.
</p>
<div id="outline-container-orgd3ebc46" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="orgd3ebc46">Package Manager</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-orgd3ebc46">
<p>
Carbs Linux uses its own package manager <a href="https://github.com/CarbsLinux/cpt">Carbs Packaging Tools</a>, a POSIX shell
package manager forked from KISS with the tool-based approach of xbps.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-org1ed7ef0" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="org1ed7ef0">Small base</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-org1ed7ef0">
<p>
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.
</p>
</div>

<div id="outline-container-orge0f142d" class="outline-2">
<h2 id="orge0f142d">Multiple Init Support</h2>
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-orge0f142d">
<p>
Carbs Linux has support for multiple init systems and service supervisors. In
the main repository are
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li><code>sinit</code></li>
<li><code>busybox-init</code> (SysVinit clone)</li>
<li><code>runit-init</code></li>
</ul>
<p>
for init systems, and
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li><code>sysmgr</code></li>
<li><code>busybox-runit</code></li>
<li><code>runit</code></li>
</ul>
<p>
for service supervisors. The <a href="https://github.com/CarbsLinux/repository/tree/master/core/carbs-init">carbs-init</a> 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.
</p>
<p>
Nothing holds you back, however, from ditching any of these and packaging some
other system supervision technique along with your own init scripts.
