Gooroom Platform is a Debian-based Linux distribution designed for cloud computing. The cloud platform is being developed with a cloud-based, web-based work environment in mind, where all work is performed on a secure browser. This cloud-based work environment stores all data in cloud storage and utilizes web-based application services provided by the cloud, instead of traditional applications installed and run on user devices.
The cloud platform consists of a cloud OS, a cloud browser, cloud security technology, and cloud central management, and domestic companies such as the National Security Research Institute and iActive are participating in its development.
The cloud browser provides a safe browsing environment with browser protection technology based on Chromium.
- HTML5-based web standard compliance.
- Separate browser processes based on access source (trusted/untrusted browsers).
- Apply Chromium security policies by browser (download blocking/URL blocking, etc.).
Gooroom’s goal is not to be a fully usable operating system running locally installed software. Its aim is to provide a secure platform for running cloud-based applications.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
