Venom Linux 20210312

Venom Linux is an independently-developed, minimal, rolling-release distribution inspired by CRUX. It targets experienced Linux users. Venom uses SysV init as the main init system and BSD-like ports as software packages which are managed by a custom package manager. The distribution's package manager is called scratch.

Venom is built for 64-bit (x86_64) machines exclusively. The project is available in one edition which can be downloaded as a 1.3GB ISO. Booting from the supplied media boots directly into the Openbox window manager. A panel sits at the bottom of the screen and offers us access to a few quick-launch icons, a virtual desktop widget, and a clock. We can right-click on empty space on the desktop to open the application menu.
