<p>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
&mdash; current Linux software like Skype 4, Sublime Text 2, or
even modern games fail to run with the provided libraries.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
