What is... Calculate Linux?¶

What is Linux ® you can find here.
Calculate Linux is designed for small and medium businesses that prefer to use open-source instead of proprietary solutions. Calculate Directory Server can successfully replace Windows NT ® domain controller (Windows clients supported) and provides additional services that can be deployed in a matter of minutes: LDAP, Mail, Jabber and many others.
Calculate Linux Desktop is a complementary solution for the Server and in concert they provide the important features like roaming profiles and centralized software deployment.
Calculate Linux is based on Gentoo that is well known for it's stability and great performance on a broad range of hardware: from Pentium Pro to modern CPUs.

Why make another distribution?¶

Most of the modern Linux distributions are intended for enthusiasts, except Novell SLES/SLED, Ubuntu and RedHat EL. However, even using these solutions setting up a client/server environment could be tricky (especially when you need to use Windows and Linux clients). We created our own distribution to help other people who want to use GNU/Linux instead of a proprietary OS for their business needs.
