Onyx is an original, independently developed distribution.

Onyx is an original distribution started by Blacksail CEO Jeremi Gosney in 2006. Onyx is not a fork of an existing distribution, and it does not borrow anything taken from other distributions. It is built entirely from scratch, and is the byproduct of many years of experience and research. Hopefully you find Onyx to be a unique, refreshing, and most of all, useful, product.
