Void Linux | |

In the past I used to spend hours and hours trying new GNU/Linux | |
distributions. I also occasionally played with some BSD, Solaris or | |
any other OSs I could find. | |
Suddenly, things changed drastically since I settled with debian. I | |
so used to using it that I do not feel very much attracted to any | |
other distro. | |
However, today I heard about Void linux, a relatively new distribut | |
which is quite different from all the rest: | |
- It has a different init system (runit) | |
- It has its own package management system (xbps) | |
- It is a rolling distribution, no point releases. | |
Well, I downloaded one of their live systems and I must say it is | |
worth giving it a try, it works well and it is fast. It also has a | |
wide variety of desktop environments to choose from. | |
