Netrunner is a free operating system for Intel and AMD based desktop computers, laptops, netbooks and arm microcomputers like the Odroid C1.[2] It comes in two versions: Netrunner Desktop and Netrunner Core.[3] Both versions feature recent versions of Qt, KDE Plasma and Frameworks on top of Debian Stable, with the Desktop version shipping extra applications, multimedia codecs, Flash and Java plugins. The former Kubuntu based version of Netrunner has been superseeded by Maui Linux,[4] which is now based on KDE Neon.[5]

Overview
