  16. <h2>What is Dragora?</h2>
  17. <p>Dragora is an independent
  18. <a href="http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.en.html">GNU/Linux</a>
  19. distribution project which was created from scratch with the intention of
  20. providing a reliable operating system with maximum respect for the user
  21. by including entirely
  22. <a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html">free software</a>.
  23. Dragora is based on the concepts of simplicity and elegance, it offers
  24. a user-friendly Unix-like environment with emphasis on stability and security
  25. for long-term durability.</p>
  26. <p>To put it in a nutshell, Dragora is...</p>
  27. <ul>
  28. <li>Minimalist.</li>
  29. <li>Free as in freedom.</li>
  30. <li>Getting better by the day.</li>
  31. <li>A whole lot of fun (not suitable for old vinegars).</li>
  32. </ul>
  33. <p>Some of the features of Dragora are:</p>
  34. <ul>
  35. <li>SysV init as the classic, documented initialization program (PID 1).</li>
  36. <li>Perp to reliably start, monitor, log and control "critical" system daemons.</li>
  37. <li>Lightweight alternatives to popular free software; i.e, musl libc,
  38. libressl, mksh, scron, pkgconf.</li>
  39. <li>The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE).</li>
  40. <li>Window managers such as TWM, DWM.</li>
  41. <li>Graft for managing multiple packages under a single directory hierarchy
  42. using symbolic links mechanisms.</li>

  44. install, remove and upgrade software packages.</li>
