[Freedombox-discuss] Stripped down debian : emdebian

[Arthur Lutz]

I just discovered emdebian :

"Simply *a smaller Debian*. Smaller packages, smaller downloads, smaller
sets of packages, smaller installation sizes and smaller update sizes; yet
always and completely binary compatible with Debian. Every backtrace from an
Emdebian Grip device will match the backtrace on a Debian machine of the
same architecture, package version etc. Packages can be mixed trivially
(with some allowances for strict dependencies like -dbg packages). The name
is a derivative of Squeeze - to make Debian smaller, we take a hold of it;
Grip it."

This project is probably usefull for the freedombox!
