Many people in the technology world have heard, at least in passing, of the Linux distribution Gentoo. Gentoo is one of the most famous distributions to the point of becoming a joke; with it’s complexity and depth, installing Gentoo has been a daunting task for many.

Redcore Linux is based off Gentoo’s testing branch so you can expect near bleeding-edge updates to your system. However, Redcore Linux does test packages received in their weekly resync with Gentoo upstream for stability before adding them to the Redcore Linux repositories. This does help add a layer of extra stability to the system that you may not usually have in a testing branch.
