cherenkov linux
... is the "different" linux distribution and way of installing and using linux;
based on gentoo but other than gentoo, cherenkov linux is extremly simple and
fast to install on almost every x86_64 device! as any of the common distributions,
most of the applications required by the advanced user, are already installed
and ... fully configured.
cherenkov linux is build not with beginners in mind but advanced user and someone
who want to save time installing gentoo without going through the different stages.
beginners do can install the distribution but note that graphical interfaces
are rather rare in cherenkov linux. bash and vi is the standard!
cherenkov linux does offer access to a graphical interface through vnc,
it also works as the basis for a powerful workstation, just will require little
setup from you.
