The current Linux emulation layer relies on using a Linux base + distribution along with Linux ports of relevant non-base + software.

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.
