Webfish Linux is aimed at servers, routers, and customised workstations for experienced Linux users. It attempts to get away from the bloat factor of many common distributions, and does not include large amounts of binary packages or a package manager. It is based on a small base set that provides kernel, gcc, Perl, sed, awk, bash, ethernet tools, etc. (basically, all that is required to run a base system and compile software but not any software itself).
