From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why billboard system would have sane installed? I don't think Debian or derivatives install it by default. Vnstat is also a bit odd, but maybe that's just me. I assume they have multiple of these displays around and for them it would make more sense to use something more centralized, like zabbix, to monitor the whole network (obviously they could do that too).

No way, Debian uses systemd, and systemd uses systemd-journald for logging, and doesn't need cron, because it has timers.

I'm on debian bookworm right now and running rsyslogd and cron, because I prefer them.

Maybe Devuan or another Debian derivative.

Not Debian, it is how the arch Linux distros boot after the grub menu.

The font is the default Debian font.
