Spider Linux

Spider Linux is a work-in-progress, modern, independent, free and open-source Linux distribution.

Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#spider-linux:privatevoid.net

As of Feb 2022: The system is in, by no means, a usable state even for an advanced user. It is mainly due to hardcoded variables that are useful for testing on my machine but not for running on others'. I am working on changing that and so can you :^)

You can see the FAQ here.

For building the system from source see here.

Philosophy

Spider Linux is developed with the following goals in mind: simplicity, efficiency and functionality. The goal is to have a minimal base system unto which the user can turn into whatever they desire using a powerful yet simple package manager/management system. I started the project because I wanted the best of both worlds when it came to package management, pre-compiled binary/source-based, but in a more convenient manner.

Documentation for the build scripts is provided here.

Inspiration
