History
System overview
CLIP OS is based on the Hardened Gentoo variant of Gentoo Linux.[4] The developers have noted that whilst it has similar aims to Qubes OS, the environment isolation mechanism is different.[3] Further, administrators on a CLIP OS system will not be able to access user data, unlike a Qubes-based system.
