About Circle Linux

Circle Linux is an enterprise-class Linux distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by Red Hat, Inc. for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Circle Linux conforms fully with the upstream vendors redistribution policy and aims to be functionally compatible. (Circle Linux mainly changes packages to remove upstream vendor branding and artwork.)

Circle Linux is developed by a small but growing team of core developers. In turn the core developers are supported by an active user community including system administrators, network administrators, enterprise users, managers, core Linux contributors and Linux enthusiasts from around the world.

Circle Linux has numerous advantages including: an active and growing user community, quickly rebuilt, tested, and QA'ed errata packages, an extensive mirror network, developers who are contactable and responsive, Special Interest Groups (SIGs) to add functionality to the core Circle distribution, and multiple community support avenues including a wiki, IRC Chat, Email Lists, Forums, Bugs Database, and an FAQ.
