<h2>The Void (Linux) distribution</h2>
<p>
Void is a general purpose operating system, based on the monolithic <a href="https://www.kernel.org">Linux®</a> kernel. Its package system allows you to quickly install, update and remove software; software is provided in binary packages or can be built directly from sources with the help of the XBPS source packages collection.
</p>
<p>It is available for the Intel x86®, ARM® and MIPS® processor architectures; Software packages can be built natively or cross compiling through the <a href="https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages">XBPS source packages collection</a>.

<h3>Not a fork!</h3>
<p>Void Linux is an independent distribution, developed entirely by volunteers.</p>
<p>Unlike many of the other existing Linux distributions, Void is not a modification of an existing distribution. Void's package manager and build system have been written from scratch.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h3>Rolling release</h3>
<p>Install once, update daily. Your system will always be up-to-date.</p>
<p>Thanks to our <a href="http://build.voidlinux.org">continuous build system</a>, new software is built into binary packages as soon as the changes are pushed to the <em>void-packages</em> repository.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h3>runit</h3>
<p>We use <a href="http://smarden.org/runit/">runit</a> as the init system and service supervisor.</p>
<p>runit is a simple and effective approach to initialize the system with reliable service supervision. See the <a href="/usage/runit">usage page</a> for a brief introduction.</p>
</div>

<div class="col-md-4">
<h3>LibreSSL</h3>
<p>We were the first distribution to switch to <em>LibreSSL</em> by default, replacing <em>OpenSSL</em>.</p>
<p>Due to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartbleed">Heartbleed</a> fiasco, we believe that the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org">OpenBSD</a> project has qualified and <em>pro-active</em> developers to provide a more secure alternative.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h3>xbps</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/void-linux/xbps">xbps</a> is the native system package manager, written from scratch with a <em>2-clause BSD</em> license.</p>
<p><em>xbps</em> allows you to quickly install/update/remove software in your system and features detection of <em>incompatible shared libraries</em> and <em>dependencies</em> while updating or removing packages (among others). See the <a href="/usage/xbps/">usage page</a> for a brief introduction.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<h3>xbps-src</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages">xbps-src</a> is the xbps package builder, written from scratch with a <em>2-clause BSD</em> license.</p>
<p>This builds the software in <em>containers</em> through the use of <em>Linux namespaces</em>, providing isolation of processes and bind mounts (among others). No root required!</p>
<p>Additionally, xbps-src can build natively or cross compile for the target machine, and supports multiple <em>C libraries</em> (glibc and musl currently).</p>
