<img align="right" src="doc/img/finit3.png" alt="Finit: Fast Init">
Finit is an alternative to [SysV init](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Init)
and [systemd](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/), focused
on small and embedded Linux systems, although fully usable on server and
[desktop systems][finix].
> Reverse engineered from the [EeePC fastinit][]
> "gaps filled with frog DNA …"

For detailed information, explore our extensive documentation

For working examples, see the :rocket: [contrib/](contrib/) section or these
tutorials:
* :hammer_and_wrench: [Buildroot embedded Linux](https://troglobit.com/post/2022-12-26-buildroot-demo-of-fastinit-finit/),
* :package: [Debian GNU/Linux](contrib/debian/),
* :mountain: [Alpine Linux](contrib/alpine/), and
* :milky_way: [Void Linux](contrib/void/)
> [!NOTE]
> Support for various Linux distributions does not mean Finit installs
> easily on all architectures. Bundled install scripts are examples for
> standard installations, tested on amd64 (x86_64) systems. Custom
> setups, e.g., for embedded systems, can be found in the following
> [Buildroot][] based examples: [myLinux][], [Infix][], or the plain
> [br2-finit-demo](https://github.com/troglobit/br2-finit-demo).
