Minux is an OS for computers in ComputerCraft, it functions as a platform to make and distribute software
Installed software can be linked to multiple repositories that anyone can host free of charge, allowing unseen combinations of software!
Because it's easy to use, flexible, reliable and powerful, the repository has a growing list of software and in a worst case scenario it's also rather easy to fix.
Minux's installation program will keep track of what software you install on your computers and it allows you to safely install and uninstall any program on any repository hosted by any developer!
Just about every file, api and Rednet network interaction is documented and explained free and open source so you can incorporate functions and abilities into your own software.
You can also distribute your own programs in a way that makes it easy for other Minux users to download, install and manage them.
