Let's play a game: Guess the distro

I post a text about a GNU/Linux distribution from the official website and you try to guess the name of the distribution.

Distro number 1:

The philosophy of *name_of_distro*

Every user has work they need to do. The goal of *name_of_distro* is to design tools and systems that allow a user to do that work as pleasantly and efficiently as possible, as they see fit. Our tools should be a joy to use, and should help the user to appreciate the richness of the Linux and free software community, and the flexibility of free software. This is only possible when the tool is designed to reflect and transmit the will of the user, and leave the possibilities open as to the final form of the raw materials (the source code.) If the tool forces the user to do things a particular way, then the tool is working against, rather than for, the user. We have all experienced situations where tools seem to be imposing their respective wills on us. This is backwards, and contrary to the *name_of_distro* philosophy.

Put another way, the *name_of_distro* philosophy is to create better tools. When a tool is doing its job perfectly, you might not even be very aware of its presence, because it does not interfere and make its presence known, nor does it force you to interact with it when you don’t want it to. The tool serves the user rather than the user serving the tool.

The goal of *name_of_distro* is to strive to create near-ideal tools. Tools that can accommodate the needs of many different users all with divergent goals. Don’t you love it when you find a tool that does exactly what you want to do? Doesn’t it feel great? Our mission is to give that sensation to as many people as possible.

Gentoo?

ElementaryOS

Right, good job!

Distro number 2


Not a fork!

*distro_name* is an independent distribution, developed entirely by volunteers.

Unlike trillions of other existing distros, *distro_name* is not a modification of an existing distribution. *distro_name*'s package manager and build system have been written from scratch.


runit

We use runit as the init system and service supervisor.

runit is a simple and effective approach to initialize the system with reliable service supervision. See the usage page for a brief introduction.

Distro number 3

*distro_name* is a source-based GNU/Linux distribution based on a sorcery metaphor of "casting" and "dispelling" programs, which we refer to as "spells", and a package manager called "Sorcery". Our packages are designed to allow the user to customize the package any way they want (custom CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, ./configure flags, etc.) as well as offering as many of the package options as possible to the user up-front (you will not need to know what options a package has or what optional dependencies it can use ahead of time). Source code is always downloaded from the publisher's website and rarely patched. *distro_name* also includes many advanced features such as self-healing and sub-dependencies

source magic?

void?

*Source mage, right!

Good job

Distro number 4

*distro_name* takes an approach called security by compartmentalization, which allows you to compartmentalize the various parts of your digital life into securely isolated compartments called *distro_name*.

Qubes?

Distro 6

The *distro_name* Philosophy

Since its first beta release in April of 1993, the *distro_name* Project has aimed at producing the most "UNIX-like" Linux distribution out there. *distro_name* complies with the published Linux standards, such as the Linux File System Standard. We have always considered simplicity and stability paramount, and as a result *distro_name* has become one of the most popular, stable, and friendly distributions available.

Ubuntu?

Slackware?

Crux. Definitely, Crux.

Best thread on this board.
