What is… Calculate Linux?

slide show

You can learn about Linux ® here.
The Calculate project features several distributions, optimized for two distinct groups of people: home users as well as small and medium businesses that prefer open-source to proprietary solutions.

Calculate Linux Desktop is a complementary solution for the Server and together they provide important features like roaming profiles and centralized software deployment.

Calculate Directory Server can successfully replace a 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 is based on Gentoo that is well known for its 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 if you use these, setting up a client/server environment could be tricky (especially when you have to manage both 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.

03/24 - [RETEX] cl-kernel sur le noyau 4.14.19-calculate (Lionel LM)

Salut à tous,
Voici mon retour d'expérience (RETEX) sur cl-kernel :
Mon test de cl-kernel sur un noyau CalcuLate s'est bien passé.
Si vous êtes curieux, utilisez l'option --skip-build sinon votre noyau sera forcément compilé, que vous ayez fait des modifs ou pas dans menuconfig.

03/22 - RE: Sddm does not start (Arale Mononoke)

Thanks a lot for your answer.

I will try the short version and check if an upgrade has modified it.

Thanks again.

03/21 - RE: Sddm does not start (Tomasz Kaczmarczyk)

I'm not sure but maybe you have to make similar file with that name, so cl-tools will read it and create new config using values from it. Default template is quite big

03/21 - Sddm does not start (Arale Mononoke)

Hi.

My Calculate Linux boots ok, but it ends in a black screen. Then I switch to a console using ctl+alt+F1 and then I execute sddm and KDE starts without problem.

I have checked the file /etc/conf.d/xdm and set DISPLAYMANAGER="sddm" as indicated in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SDDM.
