ubilinux is an ideal base for building Internet of Things (IoT) gateways and edge devices. By default, it features a small flash file system footprint, headless operation and low RAM usage.

The ubilinux file system is based on a minimal Debian installation but includes the Debian package manager to easily add any additional packages that are required.

In addition to the standard Debian package repositories, ubilinux adds its own repository which is used to distribute targeted kernel and board level updates and any platform specific variants of packages.
