+    <h1>About Keru OS</h1>
+    <p>An independent, source-only Linux distribution built around one idea: you don't install a system, you craft one.</p>
+</header>
+
+<section>
+    <div class="wrap">
+        <div class="prose">
+            <h3>What Keru is</h3>
+            <p>Keru (ける) is a Linux distribution where virtually nothing is decided for you. Every foundational component — init system, C library, filesystem, kernel, privilege-elevation tool, network stack — is a variable you resolve at install time. What lands on your disk is precisely what you chose, compiled from original source.</p>
+
+            <p>The name comes from <strong>ける・けいとうてき</strong> (keru keitō-teki), roughly "craft your system." It's the whole point stated as a phrase.</p>
+
+            <h3>The three repositories</h3>
+            <p>Keru is deliberately split into three pieces so each stays small and legible:</p>
+            <table>
+                <tr><th>Repo</th><th>What it holds</th></tr>
+                <tr><td>KeruOS</td><td>This repo — the installer, profile system, build pipeline, and website.</td></tr>
+                <tr><td>kama</td><td>The package manager. A ~225-line shell script. The "kiln" that fires recipes.</td></tr>
+                <tr><td>kama-packages</td><td>The recipe repository — plain shell scripts that describe how to build each package.</td></tr>
+            </table>
+
+            <h3>Where it sits</h3>
+            <p>Keru belongs to the line of source-and-choice distributions that includes Gentoo and Nix. Where Keru differs: it takes the "no opinion" stance further than any of them. Gentoo still picks most of your stack for you; Keru asks you to form the whole opinion up front, then builds exactly that.</p>
+
+            <h3>Status</h3>
+            <p>Keru is in active development. The first installable release, <strong>0.1</strong>, will ship as a bootable ISO. Until then, the repositories document the design, philosophy, and the build pipeline it's all wired through.</p>
