'''Lilblue Linux''' is a [[Linux Distro]] which is based on [[Gentoo Linux]] with the exception that it makes use of the [[uClibc]] [[C library]]. The distro derives its name from the [[little penguin]] of New Zealand which is little, and blue. Lilblue is a fully featured [[Xfce4]] desktop environment for the [[x86 64]] CPU architecture which makes use of [[hardening (computing)|hardening]] as well as other security enhanced features such as [[Buffer overflow protection#GCC Stack-Smashing Protector .28ProPolice.29|stack-smashing protection]], [[PaX]] and [[Position-independent code|position independent executables (PIE)]].

==Features==
'''Full desktop environment''':
Due to it being a fully featured desktop environment it sports over 800 packages needed for most desktop related tasks:
* Ephiphany, Claws, Hexchat for browsing, email and IRC.
* Abiword, Evince, Gcalctool, Gtext for your generic office suite related work.
* Gqview, Smplayer for multimedia
* Transmission for bittorrent.
* Userland utilities are provided by coreutils, not busybox.
'''Extremely lightweight''':
* Currently, the entire size of the ISO is ~228MB.
'''Fast boot time''':
* Roughly 14 seconds off of an SSD.

==Package system==
Currently, Lilblue makes use of the [[Portage (software)|Portage package system]] that Gentoo uses by default, but plans are being made to incorporate a binpkg hosting system to make up to 7000 precompiled binary packages available.
