The screenshot is on a Debian system, but I'm not running these programs from GNU Coreutils.

No, these are ports from OpenBSD. Progress is going smoothly on my upcoming busybox replacement, which I call shbox.

I've also imported oksh (portable version of ksh). I'm going to use that as the shell, when I release it. Complete busybox replacement, based on OpenBSD tools.

When every tool I need is done, I will release it all on shbox.org/

When I release the first version of shbox, there will be two versions of each program:

* Straight port, no changes except make it work on linux with glibc or musl. Or FreeBSD

* Based on the port, maintain a stripped down version, posix-only when desirable, otherwise with only minimal extensions.

The build system will either build each util as a separate binary or, like busybox, a single multi-call binary.

This is how I'm designing it. I also still want it to be usable on all the BSD systems.
