'''Lilblue Linux''' is a [[Linux Distro]] which is based off of [[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]] 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)]].

==Package system==
Currently, Lilblue makes use of the [[Portage_%28software%29|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.
