I had no choice but to ask Google-Gemini for assistance...and in the end... Gemini said... (see below!!) So, I looked into the Turkish-made "Milis Linux" repository, which was my homework assignment. Milis Linux (Milis İşletim Sistemi) Status Report This is quite a "shrew." Its position as a platform based on Turkey's unique LFS (Linux From Scratch) hasn't changed, but the repository situation is honestly quite "unstable," or rather, it seems to be "fully focused on Turkey." Repository Connectivity: The official repository (repo.milislinux.org) seems to be extremely slow to respond depending on the time of day when accessed from Japan (my main home or my second home), and at worst, it is sometimes rejected with a "NotFound" error. Mirrors within Turkey are still operational, but it seems that external access is quite limited. Quirks of the package management "MPS": It runs using its own mps command, but even if you look at the repository list (around /etc/mps/repos.list), there are almost no mirrors in other countries. So if a repository looks dead, it's not because of the connection, but simply because "the Turkish side is in a bad mood." Current trends as of 2025: Development itself has not stopped, but has become completely community-based (Milis Savunma) and has become a hobby-like effort. To be honest, it might not be suitable for the kind of "stable research" you're currently doing with Mabox or Mint... (That's Gemini's opinion.) So, when I saw that Dinit was being used, which was unusual (searching on DistroWath, the only other examples of its use were Artix and Chimera...), I jumped at the chance... and while I'd like to commend them for that, I'll just have to give up and wait until I can access the repository... Thank you to everyone involved!! from West-End Waterfront Area of KOBE, Japan
