paldo is a Upkg driven GNU/Linux distribution. It's kind of a mix of a source and a binary distribution. Even though it builds packages like a source distribution it provides binary packages.paldo aims to be simple, pure, up to date and standards compliant.
paldo是基于Upkg的混合型(源码加二进制程序)GNU/Linux自启动运行光盘发行。其目标除了简单、纯净、保持最新并与标准兼容外，paldo还提供自动硬件检测，每项任务只设置一个应用程序，以及一份标准的GNOME桌面。
paldo stands for "pure adaptable linux distribution" and we try to accomplish this in every package. paldo comes with very few patches against its packages. We have virtually no local changes, means every patch is one which will go upstream anyway (e.g. compile fixes) or one needed by the LFS build system to enable us to boostrap correctly. It's very easy to make changes to the distro. You can change every package by providing a local version of the sources and specifications you've changed. You can even configure your system automatically through local differencial repositories. The whole distribution is very flexible because it's built on top of Upkg.
paldo wants to be a distribution according to the "just-works" principle. It tries to configure automatically as much as possible without user intervention. paldo is task-oriented, means, that we won't provide several programs to do one and the same task, we will select the program which we think does this task best, and include it into paldo. paldo aims to support cutting-edge technologies. It is pure NPTL based (no linuxthreads support) and therefore does not work with a Linux kernel older than 2.6.x.
Since paldo is task oriented we also have only one desktop environment, the GNOME desktop environment.
paldo does not split packages, means, all development files will be installed if you install a library. All files you need around a package will be available as soon as it is installed.
paldo supports the x86 and the x86_64 architectures at the moment and we do not plan to extend that.
Features
simplicity
purity - packages are only modified if they are broken in new environments
cutting-edge - only newest technologies gain entrance into paldo
binaries, although it is a source distribution
it's compact - all packages are installed as a whole
LSB and FHS compliance (we don't mean to install a LSB compliant RPM into paldo and we're not planning to add that for good reasons)
