Cherimoya GNU/Linux is a plan to provide a base system (for anons) which is preconfigured to be maximally capable and secure as soon as it boots, as an alternative to the dangers of Windows. Basically, the Ultimate Care Package.

A rebuild of Chakra/Arch Linux, Cherimoya aims to provide a simple, elegant KDE4 frontend to powerful tools for organization and activism in both cyber- and meat-space with tightly-integrated I2P and Tor capabilities. Included will be a host of cryptographic, communications, and security-testing utilities, for offensive pentesting. It also strives to be an installable Linux distro that could be used for average, everyday computing.

While still in the pre-alpha stage, and in need of some work, testers, and development, Cherimoya has over 4 years of research backing it. From the dreams of Chanology's L/i/nux and Payback's AnonOS, to CirnOS of 4chan's /g/, Cherimoya compiles and makes their ideas reality, once more.

Goals

  1. Give anons a preconfigured base Linux system to access anonymization networks, use powerful server auditing tools, and provide a safe and secure working environment
  2. Use sandboxing or mandatory access control on closed-source applications or other programs prone to exploits to protect the user's system and data, and make sure that each program does what it was advertised to do
  3. Create and maintain strong documentation for the distro, and the programs at large, and unify all of Anonymous's guides into one single "Newfag's Guide to Anonymous"
  4. Replace as many functions of Windows as possible, from multimedia to web surfing, programming to design so that Cherimoya at least becomes an attractive dual-boot option

System Requirements

Cherimoya has probably the lightest footprint for a KDE4 distro out there, being based on Chakra. It's well suited for netbooks and XP-based computers.

Package Maintainer

For this, you will need a little experience in working with Arch/Chakra packages. A package maintainer will keep our packages up-to-date with the CCR and AUR, watching out for security or usability problems. More instructions are here.

Feature Creation

Cherimoya is still a budding system, and not all the needed features are complete or functional yet, notably I2P, firewalls, MAC control, custom kernels, etc. We need people who can make those features a reality. More instructions are here.
