ClearOS Community is a cloud-connected Server, Network, and Gateway operating system designed for homes, hobbyists and small organizations. You can think of it as a next generation Linux-based small business server that you can install on hardware, in a virtual machine, or in the cloud. ClearOS comes with a Marketplace full of easy to install apps and the solution is a snap to configure thanks to the intuitive web-based interface.

The Community Edition is the open source and free version designed for the happy Linux geek. You will find more fun and personal apps like media servers in this edition, but no support is provided of course. There are a lot of great features with absolutely no cost.

Are you a ClearFoundation community member? The open source revolution in the software industry has made it possible to provide ClearOS to community members at no cost. Among other features, Antivirus, Antispam, VPN and Content Filtering are built right into the software, while also providing a simple Marketplace to add on additional services if desired. With ClearOS, you can avoid costly vendor lock-in and proprietary formats; instead, you can embrace open standards and protocols. For those looking for a production edition, ClearOS Community is also where we ensure proper function & test udpates, and thus provide a quality tested edition with ClearOS Professional. ClearOS Pro is fully supported and intended solely for production users.
