Maginat

Maginat is an independent Linux distribution built from source following Linux From Scratch 12.4 (SysV init, no systemd) with the Xfce desktop. It is not based on any other distribution.

Version 0.1.3 is the first official release. It ships as a live ISO with a graphical installer (English, Italian and Spanish), runs with Secure Boot enabled, and offers optional LUKS disk encryption and dual-boot with other systems. It uses the 6.18 LTS kernel, includes an app store and printing support, and keeps the desktop lightweight (about 270 MB of RAM at idle in a virtual machine).
