Free linux distribution software for linux

Core is a minimal distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system designed to be the basis for a complete system constructed by the end user. A fresh installation of Core will boot into a console and provide the user with the tools needed to download, compile and install other applications. Core contains nothing beyond what is required to perform these tasks.
Core is primarily designed for experienced Linux users, though it has found an audience with those looking to learn about the internals and operation of a Linux system. Core requires the user to manually configure, compile and install applications and expects the user to consult man pages and other documentation.
Installation:
These instructions are incomplete, but should be sufficient:
- Download, burn and boot the ISO.
- Partition, format and mount the hard drive.
- Run install_core [mount point of hard drive].
- Optional packages in /pkgs/optional can be installed with corepkg(8).
- Copy the kernel from /pkgs/kernel to /usr/src of the hard drive.
- Run chroot [mount point] bash -l to chroot into the new system.
- Compile and install the Linux kernel [be sure to run LILO].
- Review and modify the files under /etc.
- Reboot and start constructing the new system.

TA-Linux is a free Linux distribution, that targets Linux power users. TA-Linuxs main goal is to have a small base installation that the end-user can expand to include the software he needs.

The secondary goal is to support as many different architectures as possible.
At this time i386, Alpha, PPC and MIPS are fully supported with Sparc and PA-RISC around the corner.

Extra software not included in the base is handled using a system like the *BSD ports/gentoo portagee/etc called Collection, that handles installation, upgrading and dependencies.

The primary way of installing new software is to download the source, compile and install it (totally automatic). The user can also choose to install already built binary packages, also automatically using the Collection system.
