Distros

Chimera Linux is an independent distribution which uses an unusual combination of technologies behind the scenes. Chimera Linux uses BSD userland command line tools, the Clang/LLVM compiler toolchain, Dinit for service management, and APK for package management. Chimera Linux strives to keep the design simple while still providing the experience and features most users want, such as multiple desktop environments, Flatpak support, a graphical package manager, and easy access to desktop configuration tools. Chimera Linux does not have a system installer, instead providing manual command line instructions to bootstrap the operating system from a live environment.

ChromeOS Flex, developed by Google, is a free and lightweight Linux distribution based on Gentoo-derived ChromeOS. Unlike ChromeOS which is designed specifically for Chromebook computers, ChromeOS Flex can be installed on most x86_64 devices with a AMD or Intel processors, offering a Chromebook-like experience. The product's functionality can be further extended by installing a Debian-based Linux subsystem with a complete Linux development environment. ChromeOS Flex is available as a BIN image that can be transferred to a bootable USB Flash drive; it can be used in a "live" mode or it can be permanently installed to a computer's hard disk.

Circle Linux is an enterprise Linux distribution based on CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The project's focus is to create a robust open-source ecosystem built around the Linux platform, including an enterprise-grade, production-ready Linux distribution.

Clear NDR (formerly SELKS), a product of Stamus Networks, is a Debian-based live distribution designed for network security management. It provides a complete and ready-to-use Suricata IDS/IPS ecosystem with its own graphic rule manager. The system also includes Kibana IDS/NSM dashboards (for visualising logs and other time-stamped data) a Scirius (a rules management interface for Suricata). Clear NDR is released under the GNU GPLv3 licence.

Clonezilla Live is a Debian-based live CD containing Clonezilla, a partition and disk cloning software similar to Norton Ghost. It saves and restores only used blocks in hard drive. With Clonezilla, one can clone a 5 GB system to 40 clients in about 10 minutes.

CloudLinux OS is a commercial Linux distribution for servers, based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It is available in three editions, "Solo", "Admin" and "Shared Pro". The "Solo" edition is for single-user accounts; it includes website monitoring, performance detection and performance optimization tools. The "Admin" variant is for agencies, small and medium-sized businesses, and professionals with up to 5 hosting accounts, offering flexibility for virtual private servers (VPS) and dedicated servers. "Shared Pro" is the most advanced edition of CloudLinux OS as it includes advanced automation, deep-look performance analytics, and centralized monitoring tools. (Starting with version 10, CloudLinux OS ceased to provide installation ISO images; it now provides just a Bash script that converts an existing AlmaLinux installation into CloudLinux OS. As such, CloudLinux OS 10 is no longer classified as a "Linux distribution".)
