About the systems
Info
Hail2 and Dereaded2 are two distinct editions associated with Boiled Microsystems.
Hail2
The original edition, with a purple visual identity and a from-scratch development direction. HInit and 404PM are planned parts of its architecture.
Dereaded2
The alternative Linux edition, using OpenRC and a navy-blue visual identity.
Components and architecture
The project separates the roles of the kernel, initialization and service management, package management and logging. The aim is to keep system responsibilities understandable and independently maintainable.
Project status
Both editions and their components may be at different stages of development. The Downloads tab is the place to check for official published builds; an empty release list means no builds have been published there yet.
