swizzin is a light, modular package management suite for media oriented servers. Call it a seedbox if you prefer, but there’s absolutely nothing forcing you to use it that way. At its core, swizzin is a representation of the things its namesake stood for: speed and reliability. Designed from the ground up to be modular, there is very little that is required to run a basic installation — the rest is optional!

• Hate things like spreading glorious open source projects via torrent? Don’t install a torrent client! (I won’t tell)
• Don’t want to install a web server? See if I care!
• Just want to install a web server and some ssl certificates? You heathen.

In the middle of it all is box, your new best friend. If you’ve used QuickBox before, you’re probably already familiar with some of the things that box can do for you. However, box isn’t just resting on its laurels — it has learned a few new tricks and is no longer just a package manager. Rather than rehashing out thousands of lines of code in .bashrc, box solves this problem elegantly by using hooks in coded into the installation scripts of your installed apps. box is also now your password management tool. As root, you have the ability to change any user’s password. As a freeloader, you now have the ability to change your own password. Nifty!
