Redcore Linux shares the same idea as its defunct ancestor, Kogaion Linux: to bring the power of Gentoo Linux to the masses.
It aims to offer a very quick way to install a Gentoo Linux compatible system without spending hours or days compiling from source code.
Redcore Linux targets casual Laptop/Desktop users and, to some extent, Workstation power users. It will nicely fill any gaming, multimedia, office and internet browsing needs.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
