<h2>About Everest</h2>

<p>Everest Linux is a source based Linux meta-distribution,</p>

<p>Everest Linux is a source based Linux meta-distribution, with a focus on simplicity and flexibility.</p>
|
||||
<h2>History</h2>
|
||||
<p>2021 - The idea of a packaging system that combined</p>
|
||||
<p>the simplicity of binary based packaging with the power of source</p>
|
||||
<p>based packaging was proposed.</p>
|
||||
<p>Early 2022 - Early prototypes of Glacier were created. These</p>
|
||||
<p>versions came with no multi-repository support, caching, or logging</p>
|
||||
<p>of any kind.</p>
|
||||
<p>Mid 2022 - Glacier v1 releases. This was the first stable release</p>
|
||||
<p>of Glacier.</p>
|
||||
<p>Early June 2022 - Glacier v2 is released.

<p>Late June 2022 - everestlinux.org is registered.</p>
|

<p>September 2022 - Different ways of bootstrapping a base system</p>
|
||||
<p>are tested by the development team.</p>

<p>October 2022 - Glacier v3 is released.</p>
|

<p>December 2022 - System image builds done by the development team.</p>

<h2>Design Principles</h2>
|
||||
<p>Our design principles heavily influence and guide development.</p>
|
||||
<p>You may notice we share many of these with Arch.</p>

<p>Our design principles heavily influence and guide development. You may notice we share many of these with Arch.</p>
|
||||
<strong>Simplicity</strong>
|
||||
<p>We follow the UNIX philosphy when possible. Programs should do one thing,</p>
|
||||
<p>and do it right. Our packages have almost zero modifications from upstream.</p>
|
||||
<p>The base system contains only what you need to start building your system.</p>
|
||||
<p>The base Everest system also weighs in at around 100 MB</p>

|
||||
<strong>Flexibility</strong>
|
||||
<p>Everest is designed with flexibility in mind. Any modification can</p>
|
||||
<p>be achieved if the user has enough knowledge.</p>
|
||||
<p>For example, it is possible to replace Busybox with sbase, or use</p>
|
||||
<p>runit as your init system, all without breakage.</p>

|
||||
<strong>Functionality versus Ideology</strong>
|
||||
<p>The developers of Everest are strong advocates of free software, but</p>
|
||||
<p>understand that it cannot be implemented 100% of the time, such as</p>
|
||||
<p>in the form of drivers. We also understand that some users may</p>
|
||||
<p>prefer proprietary software over libre counterparts. We take</p>
|
||||
<p>no steps to prevent proprietary software in our package database,</p>
|
||||
<p>only requiring it to be under <strong>multiverse</strong>.</p>
|
||||
<p>This is a very different approach from heavily ideological distributions,</p>
|
||||
<p>some of which don't even support many packages/features many find useful.</p>

|
||||
<strong>User Centrality</strong>
|
||||
<p>We believe that instead of trying to make Everest easy</p>
|
||||
<p>to use out-of-the-box, we should instead focus on improving</p>
|
||||
<p>functionality for experienced users.</p>

<h2>Download Everest</h2>
|

<p>Most users will want to get the most recent release.</p>
|
||||
<p>If for some reason you require an older release,</p>
|

<p>it may be in the release archive, which contains all</p>
|

<p>deprecated releases.</p>
|

<p>Using a very old release is not recommended as many critical</p>

<p>programs will likely have security vulnerabilities.</p>

<p>ALWAYS verify checksums of system images.</p>

<p>Most users will want to get the most recent release. If for some reason you require an older release, it may be in the release archive, which contains all deprecated releases.</p>
|
||||
<p>Try not to use old releases. Many components of the system will be severely outdated and prone to security holes.</p>
|
||||
<p>ALWAYS verify checksums of system images. If you download a system image, and the checksums do not match, do not use the system image.</p>
