New Linux Distribution — Exherbo, Announced

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday May 19, 2008 @07:19AM from the too-many-already dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Former Gentoo developer Bryan Østergaard recently announced a new linux distribution aptly named Exherbo. The distribution, which has been underway for a couple of months and is based on ideas and experiences from his long work with Gentoo, features a new packaging format and several subprojects, such as a redesigned init system. Currently no installation medium is available but their package tree is public for the daring ones who want to play with the upcoming distribution. The developers strongly discourage any serious use though, as it's still highly experimental."

>by and for people who are too 1337 for regular Gentoo.
The greatness of Gentoo has been its flexibility. The downfall has been the focus on 'fun' at the expense of good engineering.
The bigger headz are rebelling and pursuing something better engineered.
