Single file for each runlevel to make editing easier. Interactive startup Can specify an interactive startup which asks whether to start each service rather than relying on any prebuilt configuration files. Useful in emergencies. Up to date packages I'm using this distro, so I keep it fairly up to date. However, since I'm using it, I know it works on at least one system.
Every package is optional, so a minimal install really is minimal.
Status Opium Can currently install, uninstall and recompile packages. Packages have to be created by hand, which is nontrivial. Package file format needs updated. Init scripts Designed, but none have yet been written. Downloads None yet - more will appear as things get to a vaguely working state.
