Michael Stapelberg has announced
the first release of “distri”, a distribution focused on simplifying and
accelerating package management. “distri’s package manager is extremely fast. Its main bottleneck is typically the network link, even at high speed links (I tested with a 100 Gbps link).

Its speed comes largely from an architecture which allows the package manager to do less work.“
