+The AstLinux Development Environment (ADE) is maintained in a repository on GitHub.
 AstLinux is cross-compiled, generating target images for x86_64 CPU architectures, using a custom maintained version of [[https://buildroot.org|Buildroot]].
 ===== Linux Build System =====
-Building AstLinux requires using some version of Debian/Ubuntu or RHEL/CentOS Linux. It is recommended using a version of these distros in a Virtual Machine (VM). A 64-bit, x86_64 build system is required.
