Project Summary

Void is a general purpose linux distribution, meant to be used by advanced users. Its package system allows you to quickly install, update and remove software; software is provided in binary packages or can be built directly from sources with the help of the XBPS source packages collection.

The spirit of Void is such that we keep things default, necessary, and minimal as possible (while trying not to leave features out).
