The current Linux emulation layer relies on using a Linux base + distribution along with Linux ports of relevant non-base + software. Fedora 10 has been imported in 2006, and it shows + — current Linux software like Skype 4, Sublime Text 2, or + even modern games fail to run with the provided libraries.

CentOS 6.5 has been released in December 2013 and will be + supported until 2017, thus making it an ideal basis for an + update to the ports infrastructure. Built upon the work of + Carlos Jacobo Puga Medina, all ports using Linux has been + updated to work with either Fedora 10 or CentOS 6.5.

The goal of this project is to make CentOS 6.5 the default + Linux distribution, so that &os; users can enjoy running modern + Linux binaries without having to resort to proper virtualization + à la VirtualBox, or even dual-booting.
