The light on Linux®
# What?
Copacabana Linux, is an independent Linux® distribution focused on
simplicity, sanity, modularity and liberty (as in
Enlightenment).
It is based on musl
as the C standard library and a custom and
modernized
fork of Heirloom Toolchest
combinated with some complementary modern
OpenBSD
utilities as UNIX® basic command line utilities.
It uses a *BSD-inspired distribution model,
based in tarball stages, not on the "everything is a package"
paradigm; since it's fairly simpler to package, distribute and maintain.
# Why?
We always thought that brazilian distributions weren't exactly
neither original nor independent, since all of them are dependent on
other Linux distributions, or just do the same bread-and-butter of "GNU
userland + Linux kernel".
We also never liked the community model that
most distributions follow; that are the main reasons why we're here.
