Based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), EuroLinux [1] is a Polish-based commercial distribution that sells support from engineers and offers specialist editions, including a free community edition and editions for Raspberry Pi, containers, the cloud, and desktops. In keeping with the company’s philosophy, my questions were answered by leading developers.
Linux Magazine (LM): Tell readers about the founding of EuroLinux.
EuroLinux (EL): EuroLinux was founded in 2013 by a group of individuals who had been selling and supporting commercial open source software since 2000. Our company’s name originates from the name of its first product, which was the EuroLinux operating system.
LM: Does the distribution have any connection to the campaigning organization [2] of the same name?
EL: We don’t have a direct relationship, but we share many values. The emergence of our products is also in line with their goals, such as platform neutrality, restriction of patents in software, freedom of licensing, and no vendor lock-in.
LM: How does EuroLinux differ from other distributions based on RHEL?
