Was it based on some existing distro? #11

Or is it completely independent distro?

I have hard time finding the answer.

sskras commented 2 years ago

FWIW, my best guess is that it's probably based on NetBSD.

It uses a lot of NetBSD userland but this project originally started life as a Gentoo stage4

Indeed it built from a Gentoo stage 4 that I made, so that was my first musl/clang toolchain. At the moment I am following Chimera (chimera-linux.org) development with interest. A lot of overlapping aims (FreeBSD userland rather than NetBSD like I use, but other than that very similar). This last year I have had very little time to work on Aalbus due to real-life issues. I hope to pick up on it again and then I might learn something from what the Chimera guys are doing.

Thank you both for the information.

Chimera Linux uses probably different package manager instead. It seems that Aalbus Linux is the only distro that uses pkgsrc and is still not terminated.

Other were: Bluewall GNU/Linux, VoltaLinux, Draco Linux, Caprice Linux and "kaashif Linux" (I made up the name as it had none before termination).
