About Nexenta Core Platform (NexentaCore)
=============================

Nexenta Operating System is a free and open source operating system
combining the OpenSolaris kernel with GNU application userland. Nexenta
Operating System runs on Intel/AMD 32/64bit hardware and is distributed
as a single installable CD. NexentaCore is a minimal (core) foundation
that can be used to quickly build servers, desktops, and custom
distributions tailored for specialized applications. The latest and
previous NexentaCore releases are available at [4]. With the power of
Debian tools behind it, NexentaCore could be customized for any vertical
application or distribution: KDE, GNOME, XFCE centric Desktops, LAMP
servers, Xen Dom0 ZFS-powered servers, and more. Unlike NexentaOS
desktop distribution, NexentaCore does not aim to provide a complete
desktop. The overriding objective for NexentaCore is - stable foundation.

NexentaCore is already used, today, as the foundation for NexentaStor
storage appliance [5].

Developers and Users - join official Nexenta IRC #nexenta [6],
report bugs and request features via Launchpad [7].
