RLSD, the Retro Linux-libre Software Distribution

I really like this concept, it goes to great lengths to be minimalism, not just a <well-know-linux-distro-here> remix.

I think Linux on the desktop still needs a lot of iterations to be successful and these experiments can be a great sandbox for them.

I hope to see more static linked distributions, but in the meantime there a few alternatives like:

http://morpheus.2f30.org/

There is also a static binary retriever at

In case you want even more static packages out of RLSD, I'd probably add the RLSD packages to it sometime soon.

This looks like a great proof of concept with some software (especially a lightweight package manager) which I always wanted to see come to life and possibly use myself!
