CRUX
CRUX is a lightweight, i686-optimized Linux distribution targeted at experienced Linux users. The primary focus of this distribution is "keep it simple", which is reflected in a simple tar.gz-based package system, BSD-style initscripts, and a relatively small collection of trimmed packages. The secondary focus is utilization of new Linux features and recent tools and libraries. CRUX also has a ports system which makes it easy to install and upgrade applications.
Arch Linux
Short: Arch Linux is an i686-optimized linux distribution targeted at competent linux users (read: not afraid of the commandline)
Long: Arch is fast, lightweight, flexible and simple. Those aren't very fancy buzzwords but they're all true. Arch is optimized for the i686 processor, so you get more for your cpu cycle. It's lightweight compared to RedHat et al, and its simple design makes it easy to extend and mold into whatever kind of system you're building.
This is backed by an easy-to-use binary package system that doesn't get over-complicated (I can almost write the whole thing in bash) and a simple build system that will hopefully encourage users to build their own packages (Arch Build System). Rebuilding your entire system is as simple as running 'makeworld'.
Arch Linux strives to maintain the latest stable version of its software. We currently support a fairly streamlined package set with a growing collection of contrib packages made by myself and other AL developers. A brief component list is below.
In its goal to be simple, flexible, bla bla bla, I've adopted CRUX's ideology and have left out the relatively useless portions of a linux system, things like /usr/doc and the info pages. In my own personal experience, these are rarely used, and the equivalent information can be obtained from the net if need be. Manpages all the way...
Arch Linux also strives to use some of the newer features that are available to linux users, such as ext3/reiserfs and devfs support.
应该说这两个发行版介于gentoo/LFS和其它发行版之间。
他们的包都是tar.gz的,两者都很小巧、时髦、灵活。他们所带的软件包基本上都是最新的稳定版,并提供了一套脚本可以很方便的制作用户自己的包。
区别主要在于,Crux更小,他的ISO文件不到200M,正好可以放在3.5寸的CD-R/W里,他的包是标准的tarball,没有包含任何元数据,因此它的包管理系统没有依赖关系,这要用户自己去解决。Arch的ISO有大约600M,包也是tarball,但包含了基本信息,可以自动解决依赖关系。 |
