CAOS Linux is a community maintained and managed, RPM-based Linux distribution. The name can be an acronym standing for Community-Assembled Operating System. The name has been capitalized in various ways: cAos and CAos were used with earlier releases. CAOS and Caos are used on the web site's main pages.
CAOS Linux combines aspects of Debian, Red Hat Linux/Fedora, and FreeBSD in a manner that aspires to be stable enough for servers and clusters, for a life cycle of 3 to 5 years.[1] The CAOS Project is part of a larger organization (The CAOS Foundation) which is a team of open source developers working and leveraging resources together.
