The release of the Calculate Linux 20 distribution kit, which is developed by the Russian-speaking community, is built on the basis of Gentoo Linux, supports a continuous release cycle of updates and is optimized for rapid deployment in a corporate environment. For loading the following distribution editions: Calculate Linux Desktop with KDE desktop (), MATE (CLDM), Cinnamon (CLDC), LXQt (CLDL) and Xfce (CLDX and CLDXE), Calculate Directory Server (), Calculate Linux Scratch () and Calculate Scratch Server (CSS). All versions of the distribution are distributed as a bootable Live image for x86_64 systems with the ability to install on a hard drive or USB drive (support for 32-bit architectures has been discontinued).
Calculate Linux is compatible with Gentoo Portages, uses the OpenRC init system, and uses the Rolling update model. The repository contains more than 13 thousand binary packages. Live USB includes both open source and proprietary video drivers. Supports multiboot and modification of the boot image using the Calculate utilities. The system supports working with the Calculate Directory Server domain with centralized authorization in LDAP and storage of user profiles on the server. The composition includes a selection of utilities specially designed for the Calculate project for configuring, assembling and installing the system. Tools are provided to create customized ISO images tailored to the needs of the user.
