Q: What is ROCK Linux
|
|
|
|
ROCK Linux is a distribution development kit. People can use it to build their
|
|
own Linux distributions. There are two ways of customizing the build of a
|
|
new distribution in ROCK Linux:
|
|
|
|
1. The Configuration. ROCK Linux has a powerfull configuration
|
|
system which gives the user full control over a wide range of
|
|
options used during the build. This includes stuff like selecting
|
|
the CPU optimisation, compiler, c-library, various install
|
|
prefixes, packages to build or not to build, etc.
|
|
|
|
2. The ROCK Linux build system is designed to be flexible, open and
|
|
easy to extend. So if any option is missing it's easy to add it.
|
|
|
|
So there are two groups of ROCK Linux users: Those who are using a ROCK Linux
|
|
based distribution and those who are using the ROCK Linux build system for
|
|
building distributions.
