What is Parabola?

Parabola is a Free Software and Free Culture project aiming to provide a 
fully Free as in freedom GNU/Linux distribution called Parabola 
GNU/Linux-libre. It is based on the packages of the Arch (the GNU/Linux 
distribution) and possibly other Arch-based systems, with packages 
optimized for i686, x86_64, and armv7h CPUs. Parabola aims to keep its 
package and management tools simple. The primary goal is to give the 
user complete control over their system with 100% Free Software and Free 
Culture. Parabola GNU/Linux-libre is listed by the Free Software 
Foundation as a fully Free Software distribution.

Development is focused on a balance of simplicity, elegance, 
code-correctness and bleeding edge Free Software.

Its lightweight and simple design makes it easy to extend and mold into 
whatever kind of system you're building.

You can find us on #parabola or mailing list.

General documentation

The Installation Guide will walk you through the process of downloading 
an ISO from our Repositories and installing Parabola GNU/Linux-libre on 
your system. We have separate installation instructions for the MIPS 
(discontinued) and ARM v7 architectures.

If you are running the GNU/Linux distribution of Arch, migrating to 
Parabola GNU/Linux-libre is as simple as reconfiguring pacman to use its 
repositories. See the Migration guides for x86 and ARM v7 architectures 
for instructions.

Be sure to take a look at the Parabola Social Contract, it guides us in 
all we do.

FAQ

Our frequently asked questions is to provide answers to questions often 
asked by users who moved to Parabola GNU/Linux-libre from the GNU/Linux 
distribution of Arch and other nonfree GNU/Linux ones. It discusses 
issues caused by making the system completely Free. For explanation on 
technical details of the system look at Arch FAQ.
