There’s a particular kind of Linux distro that exists to make a point. Not “here’s a stable base you can build on,” but “here’s how I think you should compute.” Opinionated distros. The ones with a philosophy baked into the package selection before you’ve even opened a terminal. I like them. I build them. ArchBang … Opinionated Distros, and Wobbly Windows

So decided to update all three images: MiniBang [sugar free], ArchBang [some candy but too heavy] and Fruitbang [full sugar version].
