Calculate Linux is a Linux distribution optimized for rapid deployment in a corporate environment. It is based on the Gentoo project and includes numerous pre-configured functions.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Calculate Linux is distributed in five flavours: Calculate Linux Desktop (CLD), Calculate Directory Server (CDS), Calculate Linux Scratch (CLS), Calculate Scratch Server (CSS) and Calculate Linux Container (CLC).

Bootable Live CDs are available for all versions. They can be used to install Calculate Linux on a HDD, a USB flash drive or a USB HDD.

Features

  • Finished client-server solution.
  • Quick installation in the enterprise.
  • Works in heterogeneous networks.
  • Domain Server supports Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / 7 clients.
  • Rolling-release model of binary updates.
  • Includes Calculate utilities which help you to configure, build and install the system.
  • Interactive System Build allows you to change the distribution and create new ISO images.
  • Easy administration.
  • Can be installed on a USB-Flash or a USB-HDD with ext4, ext3, ext2, reiserfs, btrfs, xfs, jfs, nilfs2 or FAT32.

Receptions

Jesse Smith reviewed Calculate Linux 13.4 for DistroWatch Weekly:[11]

Basically what my time with Calculate really boiled down to is there wasn't any single large problem which kept me from enjoying the distribution, however there were several small problems or, if not problems, just oddities. Calculate doesn't appear to have any outstanding feature which would draw people to it and this, combined with the previously mentioned issues, makes me reluctant to recommend the distribution. The one area where I suspect Calculate has an edge is with fans of Gentoo who want a quick way to get up and running. Calculate lets users get started with pre-built packages and a graphical installer and then customize the underlying Gentoo operating system on an as-needed basis. So for Gentoo users Calculate smooths out the installation process, but users of other distributions aren't likely to find a reason to switch to this distribution.
