| - | Though ClearOS software is indeed an independent Linux distribution, a majority of the source code comes from [[ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/|Red Hat Enterprise Linux]]. Yes, we have added things like Intrusion Detection (snort) and Prevention (snortsam), but less than a dozen of the upstream packages have been patched. You can find the gory technical details about which packages and why in [[Developer:Packaging:ClearOS 6.x:start|this document]]. Re-inventing the wheel is something that we try to avoid. The ClearOS innovation comes from the intelligent integration and web interface, not day-to-day software package maintenance. | + | Though ClearOS software is indeed an independent Linux distribution, a majority of the **source code** comes from [[ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/|Red Hat Enterprise Linux]].

| For those of you who deploy CentOS or RHEL on servers, you will feel quite at home with ClearOS.

| + | ClearOS is split into two distinct trees: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **ClearOS Core** is a rebuild of //all// the upstream packages, including packages that really should not be installed on a ClearOS Community/Professional server (e.g. Thunderbird mail client). | ||
| + | * **ClearOS Community/Professional** is built off of the ClearOS Core tree. Everything that can be installed via Marketplace is part of the Community/Professional tree, nothing more. Focused and manageable. | ||
