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?

"Competition is good, principally if it's offering more freedom."

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.
