# A tiny GNU/Linux distribution
Matterlinux is a tiny [free/libre](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) and 
[open source](https://opensource.com/resources/what-open-source) GNU/Linux distribution 
for `amd64` systems. It has its own package management system and its own package repos. 
All source code for Matterlinux is licensed under GPLv3 and avaliable on 
[Matterlinux Git Server](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/matterlinux).

## Goals & Status 
The project aims to create a tiny and simple yet still usable GNU/Linux system from the 
scratch. So the project is not based on any other distribution, nor it's package ecosystem.

Currently matterlinux is under development, here is a rough roadmap if you want to 
follow the development of the project:

- [+] Package system 
- [+] Website 
- [>] Offical repos (`base` and `desktop`) 
- [x] Wiki/documentation
- [x] First release
