Memphis Linux
A sovereign base layer — immutable, built on Alpine and Debian.
Most reference catalogues leave the operating-system layer to a handful of foreign distributions. For a public-sector or enterprise platform, that is the layer where sovereignty matters most — it sees every secret, every packet, every workload.
So we built our own. Memphis Linux is a lightweight, immutable, container-optimized distribution engineered on two trusted lineages — Alpine for a minimal, security-first footprint and Debian for breadth and stability — supported end to end by the same team that runs your platform.
Why Memphis Linux
Immutable images
Deployed as versioned, read-only images — no drift, safe and repeatable updates.
Runs on any hardware
A lean core runs fast on modest machines and edge devices, not just fresh servers.
Secure by default
Mandatory access control, signed images, and a minimal package set from first boot.
Everywhere the same
Runs identically on cloud, on-premise, and fully air-gapped environments.
Container-native
Purpose-built to host Podman and any Kubernetes-native runtime.
Yours, supported
An OS your organization can audit and depend on, backed end to end by Khwarizm.
