Obarun wiki¶
Obarun is Arch Linux without systemd. The packages come from Arch, the init and service management come from 66, and a small set of Obarun tools glues the two together.
This wiki documents what is specific to Obarun. For everything that behaves the same as on Arch, the Arch Wiki remains the better and better maintained source, and this wiki links to it rather than copying it.
