Rubix Linux

Your Rating: star

Rubix Linux is a Linux distribution that was originally derived from Slackware. It is designed to support mission critical hardware and be very admin friendly. It uses Arch Linux's pacman for simplified package management with dependency resolution. It has a revamped init system, maintaining the BSD style, but adding modularity. It compiles packages with SSP (a.k.a. ProPolice) and PIE (Position Independent Executable) whenever possible to increase security.
