For something that's more of a prepackaged build-your-own-Linux kit, there's also KISS Linux[0]. It's kind of a microdistro with minimal abstraction over the raw guts, and "packages" are just pre-downloaded source code repos that you compile yourself.
The "package manager" is just a shell script. The installation process[1] is entirely manual, so you control every step as you bootstrap up to building your own kernel and installing each subsystem, all the way up to compiling and running Firefox. It's pretty neat.

I think its been forked since and maintained by a small community[1]. I liked the concept and used it for some tiny test machines.

- cookiengineer 3y agoThere's also TinyCoreLinux which is amazing when being bundled with busybox, for both embedded and VM use cases. [1] Though these days I would probably recommend to go with Yocto [2] for the sake of stability and updates.
