I know that they rebranded to "Calcul Linux" somewhat, but then |

No, this is a different distribution. We are creating a binary Linux |
| 25 |
distribution from ebuilds with a focus on POSIX compliance, ease of |
| 26 |
use, porting to alternative platforms (x86_32, ppc, arm64), and speed. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
This project rose out of simple desire to have a way to use Gentoo |
| 29 |
binpkgs with the apk package manager (from Alpine Linux, not the |
| 30 |
Android app distribution format). I was bouncing the idea around in |
| 31 |
the -portage IRC channel around December 2014 and a few users and devs |
| 32 |
(including ryao) encouraged me to continue seeing if it would be |
| 33 |
feasible. As I found success, some people asked me if I was |
| 34 |
considering distributing the APKs I was making, and it turned into a |
| 35 |
distribution fairly organically. The domain was registered mid-2015. |

I named it Adélie because the Adélie penguin is the closest living |
| 38 |
relative to the Gentoo penguin (along with the Chinstrap; Chinstrap |
| 39 |
Linux is a consultancy firm), and I personally feel that Adélie is the |
| 40 |
closest binary relative to Gentoo's technical goals. |

If you have any further questions, go ahead and ask (on or off list). |
