GALEB(8)                    System Manager's Manual                   GALEB(8)

NAME

     Galeb -- simple musl-based static distro

DESCRIPTION

     Galeb is a distribution of musl/Linux which is inspired by and based on
     parts of several similar projects, most notably:

           morpheus  <https://git.2f30.org/morpheus/log.html>

           stali     <https://sta.li>

           suckless core
                     <https://core.suckless.org/>

           Linux From Scratch
                     <https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/>

           Musl-LFS  <https://github.com/dslm4515/Musl-LFS/>
     and so on.

CONCEPTS

     •   Static linking, as much as possible.

     •   Simplicity.  Prefer simple solutions and programs which conform to
         the Unix philosophy of "programs that do one thing well, work with
         other programs and handle text streams".

     •   Avoid following standards blindly, and at the expense of the above.

FILESYSTEM HIERARCHY

     Galeb adopts and extends the filesystem hierarchy of stali:

           Path             Description
