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 straightforward 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.
Current release is 2.6.
Due to a hard disk failure the Server hosting crux.nu, the Ports repositories and bugtracker will require some maintenance. It is scheduled to start at Apr 17th 2010 18:30 CEST and last for about three hours. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Update: The upgrade went just fine. We want to thank Kalmar NDC and Charlie for the great support and upgrading our Server with new disks!
