  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 Pros: no intervention to bullet-proof Debian minimal -- only additional packages installed from the custom repository.
The author is very responsive and helpful. The distribution is ideal for those who appreciate not wasting computer resources, using tiling WM and VIM-like control.
Cons: for average user might be the keyboard driven approach, thus the documentation is extensible despite it's french origin. Nowadays the parts of the website not translated to English you can translate seamless online.
Lack of GUI configuration tools.
Very limited userbase.
