Federated maintains its own Linux distribution for the specific purpose of control of the types and versions of software used in virtual machine. This descrease the surface area for attacks, increased maintainability for the Cores built on top, and assures our systems work on X64 and Arm (example: Ampere) systems as well as fully supporting IPv4 and IPv6 for cloud deployment.

Core Server is based on OpenMandriva a Linux distribution lead by Federated Computer’s chief systems engineer. OpenMandriva is base on Fedora, in part.
