Linux
Like everybody else I started with standard distributions like Slackware, SuSE, Centos etc. At a certain point I got fed up with the overbloated nature (configuration wizards for example) in nowadays distributions and their way of patching long-dead versions of libraries instead of simply upgrading to the authors newest fixed version.
It was around 2001 when I spotted the LFS project. But doing everything from scratch all the time is tiresome..
So on the search for a Linux distribution which is simple to configure and doesn't suffer from "feature-itis" I came across CRUX first and ARCH Linux half a year later or so.
I'm still maintaining some CRUX packages (on explicit request and if they didn't find
their way into the main repositories yet).
See my CRUX archive.
I'm also maintaing a few ARCH Linux packages, mainly things I need for personal hacking.
See my ARCH packages.
I'm also trying to play with a minimalistic Linux. A little bit extreme maybe. :-)
