Arch Linux

Arch Linux is an independently developed x86-64 general-purpose Linux distribution that strives to provide the latest stable versions of most software by following a rolling-release model. ArchBang and Arch Linux are Linux distributions, Pacman-based Linux distributions and x86-64 Linux distributions.

See ArchBang and Arch Linux

CrunchBang Linux

CrunchBang Linux (abbreviated #!) was a Linux distribution derived from Debian by Philip Newborough (who is more commonly known by his username). CrunchBang was designed to use comparatively few system resources. ArchBang and CrunchBang Linux are Linux distributions.

Debian

Debian, also known as Debian GNU/Linux, is a Linux distribution composed of free and open-source software and optionally non-free firmware or software developed by the community-supported Debian Project, which was established by Ian Murdock on August 16, 1993. ArchBang and Debian are Linux distributions, operating system distributions bootable from read-only media and x86-64 Linux distributions.

GNU Core Utilities

The GNU Core Utilities or coreutils is a package of GNU software containing implementations for many of the basic tools, such as cat, ls, and rm, which are used on Unix-like operating systems.

GNU General Public License

The GNU General Public License (GNU GPL or simply GPL) is a series of widely used free software licenses, or copyleft, that guarantee end users the four freedoms to run, study, share, and modify the software.

I3 (window manager)

i3 is a tiling window manager designed for X11, inspired by wmii and written in C. It supports tiling, stacking, and tabbing layouts, which are handled manually.

Lifehacker

Lifehacker is a weblog about life hacks and software that launched on 31 January 2005.

Light-weight Linux distribution

A light-weight Linux distribution is one that uses lower memory and/or has less processor-speed requirements than a more "feature-rich" Linux distribution.

Linux

Linux is both an open-source Unix-like kernel and a generic name for a family of open-source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds.

Linux distribution

A Linux distribution (often abbreviated as distro) is an operating system made from a software collection that includes the Linux kernel and often a package management system. ArchBang and Linux distribution are Linux distributions.

See ArchBang and Linux distribution

Linux kernel

The Linux kernel is a free and open source, UNIX-like kernel that is used in many computer systems worldwide.

See ArchBang and Linux kernel

Live CD

A live CD (also live DVD, live disc, or live operating system) is a complete bootable computer installation including operating system which runs directly from a CD-ROM or similar storage device into a computer's memory, rather than loading from a hard disk drive. ArchBang and live CD are operating system distributions bootable from read-only media.

See ArchBang and Live CD

Monolithic kernel

A monolithic kernel is an operating system architecture with the entire operating system running in kernel space.

See ArchBang and Monolithic kernel

Open-source software

Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is released under a license in which the copyright holder grants users the rights to use, study, change, and distribute the software and its source code to anyone and for any purpose.

See ArchBang and Open-source software

Openbox

Openbox is a free, stacking window manager for the X Window System, licensed under the GNU General Public License.

See ArchBang and Openbox

Rolling release

Rolling release, also known as rolling update or continuous delivery, is a concept in software development of frequently delivering updates to applications.

See ArchBang and Rolling release

Stacking window manager

A stacking window manager (also called floating window manager) is a window manager that draws and allows windows to overlap, without using a compositing algorithm.

See ArchBang and Stacking window manager

Tiling window manager

In computing, a tiling window manager is a window manager with an organization of the screen into mutually non-overlapping frames, as opposed to the more common approach (used by stacking window managers) of coordinate-based stacking of overlapping objects (windows) that tries to fully emulate the desktop metaphor.
