# Core Desktop

Federated Core supports PXE-booting two different Linux distributions (OpenMandriva and Core Desktop based on Arch) when a customer wants to complete solution for their team or office. These desktops are tied into Federated Core Authentication, have all the desktop applications (email, calendar, contacts, bookmarks, file synchronization, applications that take advantage of Nextcloud and other desktop applications) pre-configured and redy to use for the particular user as they log in to Core Desktop. This is a great solution for offices or use cases where it is important that each desktop be closely managed for the “correct” software and services so that it “just works”.

Core Desktop can also be installed on laptops and other mobile computers so that on-the-go team members can get a computer that “just works” without the requirements for network access.
