-(including some X clients such as xterm, surf, dwm, dmenu, mplayer). It also

+stali (sta[tic] li[nux]) is a new new linux distribution based on a hand
+selected collection of the best tools for each task and each tool being
+statically linked (including some X clients such as xterm, surf, dwm, dmenu,
+mplayer).
+
+It also targets binary size reduction through the avoidance of glibc and other
+bloated GNU libraries where possible (early experiments show that usually
+statically linked binaries are smaller than their dynamically linked glibc counterparts!!!).
+Note, this is pretty much contrary to what Ulrich Drepper reckons about static linking.
+
Due to the side-benefit that statically linked binaries start faster the
distribution also targets performance gains.
+
It is expected that the first usable version will be available during Nov 2009.
