New CRUX based linux

Sergei · 2010-01-10 21:41:22

I've made a new CRUX based disro, you can check it out here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/crosslinux/

CROSS is a heavily trimmed down, Intel® Core™ x86_64 optimized Linux distribution, originally based on CRUX, and using it's ports system.

If you like it or not feel free to write me about it. Enjoy

I will contribute greatly to your effort by saying it should say "its", not "it's".

Thanx for pointing

So basically it's Crux with files compiled with CFLAGS for the Core processors?

ludovico · 2010-01-11 09:06:54

Are there any major differences between this distro and crux?
Not that I know crux so well either...

Edit: Zeist got the question right, ignore me

What I've seen, there are packages for kernel and kernel headers.
And CROSS comes with cdrtools instead of cdrkit - which is not the worst.
My crux is already compiled with march = core2, that does not justify a new distro.

But I'll give it a try *download it*

Why do we need another distro? We already have the best one, right?

My Arch is better than your Arch though

Not only for Core processors. There's also rewritten installer and i think it resembles more Arch in some ways. I know it's not ideal for everyone, but i hope it is for some. Everything that seems are absent on ISO could easily be installed through ports after installation, autoconf for example, but i just didn't need 'em while i did my compilations. Distro is fully self contained & can be rebuild having only packages it hosts. Everyting else could be installed additionally. Just try it & you'll understand what it is about. There's a small handbook in ISO, which could be found in /cdrom/CROSS after CD booting.
