-**Hyperbola** is a **[[https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html|Free Software]]** and **[[https://freedomdefined.org/Definition|Free Culture]]** project aiming to provide a fully free as in freedom GNU/Linux operating system called **Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre**.  It is based on **Arch** snapshots and **Debian** development, with packages optimized for i686 and x86_64 CPUs under [[en:start#what_is_long_term_support_lts|Long Term Support (LTS) way]]. **Hyperbola** aims to keep its package and management tools simple, stable and secure.

 +Hyperbola has neither the intention to be just another system claiming something nor being the so-called ultimate answer. In a time with missing clear principles and values Hyperbola is nevertheless here for stating that free, libre software is for all beings to bring progress, privacy, security, freedom of democratic rights and up towards our essential point of technical emancipation, which is only possible with clear motivation for minimalism.
 ==== When Hyperbola first started? ==== ==== When Hyperbola first started? ====
  
-The idea of Hyperbola was born in FISL17 (Porto Alegre, Brazil) when people encouraged [[https://www.hyperbola.info/members/founders/#coadde|coadde]] and [[https://www.hyperbola.info/members/founders/#Emulatorman|Emulatorman]] to develop a fully free distribution based on Arch in combination with Debian level stability. Additional ideas such as building all packages from source instead of through a version control system, providing strong checksum (eg. SHA512) and signature verification, was inspired by [[https://www.hyperbola.info/members/founders/#Gaming4JC|Gaming4JC]]. In turn, this inspired [[https://www.hyperbola.info/members/founders/#Emulatorman|Emulatorman]] to develop the [[en:main:packaging_guidelines|Hyperbola Packaging Guidelines]] and make an organized distribution.+The idea of Hyperbola was born in FISL17 (Porto Alegre, Brazil) when people encouraged [[https://www.hyperbola.info/members/founders/#coadde|coadde]] and [[https://www.hyperbola.info/members/founders/#emulatorman|emulatorman]] to develop a fully free distribution based on Arch in combination with Debian level stability.

 Official development of Hyperbola began by our [[https://www.hyperbola.info/members/founders|founders]] on April 15th of 2017. The project launched its official IRC channel in Freenode and webserver (located in Bissen, Luxembourg) on Gandi. The site went live [[https://www.hyperbola.info/news/hyperbola-is-finally-here/|May 20th of 2017]] and our first stable version on was released [[https://www.hyperbola.info/news/stable-v01-release/|July 13th of 2017]]. Official development of Hyperbola began by our [[https://www.hyperbola.info/members/founders|founders]] on April 15th of 2017.
