- <h2>What is Dragora?</h2>
- <p>Dragora is an independent
- <a href="http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.en.html">GNU/Linux</a>
- distribution project which was created from scratch with the intention of
- providing a reliable operating system with maximum respect for the user
- by including entirely
- <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html">free software</a>.
- Dragora is based on the concepts of simplicity and elegance, it offers
- a user-friendly Unix-like environment with emphasis on stability and security
- for long-term durability.
- </p>
- <p>To put it in a nutshell, Dragora is...</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Minimalist.</li>
- <li>Free as in freedom.</li>
- <li>Getting better by the day.</li>
- <li>A whole lot of fun (not suitable for old vinegars).</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Some of the features of Dragora are:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>SysV init as the classic, documented initialization program (PID 1).</li>
- <li>Perp to reliably start, monitor, log and control "critical" system daemons.</li>
- <li>Lightweight alternatives to popular free software; i.e, musl libc,
- libressl, mksh, scron, pkgconf.</li>
- <li>The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE).</li>
- <li>Window managers such as TWM, DWM.</li>
- <li>Graft for managing multiple packages under a single directory hierarchy
- using symbolic links mechanisms.</li>
- <li>Qi as a simple local package manager that complements Graft to create,
- install, remove and upgrade software packages.</li>
- </ul>
