Element: Enterprise Ready Gentoo GNU/Linux Servers

The Edoceo Element is a Gentoo GNU/Linux platform that is tuned and ready for operation in business environments. Clients looking for Linux servers can choose from RedHat, Novell or other distributors, with expensive licensing fees. Element is built on Gentoo GNU/Linux and eleminates those expensive licensing fees. This system delivers on the low TCO promises made by Linux and other Open Source software and is fully vendor supported.

Element uses Gentoo binary packages to speed the installation of basic required system packages and the supported extensions. All updates are distributed via the Gentoo standard Portage system, there are no new tools to learn.
