Just Enough Linux Operating System (JELOS) is a simple Linux distribution for ARM based devices that specializes in handhelds. My goal is to build an operating system that has the features and capabilities that I need, and to have fun building it.
This is a repository for JELOS development builds, these builds may be unstable and are not recommended for daily driving. Visit /JustEnoughLinuxOS/distribution for stable builds.
