8 | {pve} is based on the famous https://www.debian.org/[Debian] Linux | |
9 | distribution. That means that you have access to the whole world of | |
10 | Debian packages, and the base system is well documented. The | |
11 | https://debian-handbook.info/download/stable/debian-handbook.pdf[Debian | |
12 | Administrator\'s Handbook] is available online, and provides a | |
13 | comprehensive introduction to the Debian operating system (see | |
14 | xref:Hertzog13[]). | |
15 | ||
16 | A standard {pve} installation uses the default repositories from | |
17 | Debian, so you get bug fixes and security updates through that | |
18 | channel. In addition, we provide our own package repository to roll | |
19 | out all {pve} related packages. This includes updates to some | |
20 | Debian packages when necessary. | |
21 | ||
22 | We also deliver a specially optimized Linux kernel, where we enable all | |
23 | required virtualization and container features. That kernel includes | |
24 | drivers for http://zfsonlinux.org/[ZFS], and several hardware drivers. | |
25 | For example, we ship Intel network card drivers to support their | |
26 | newest hardware. | |
27 | ||
28 | The following sections will concentrate on virtualization related | |
29 | topics. They either explains things which are different on {pve}, or | |
30 | tasks which are commonly used on {pve}. For other topics, please refer | |
31 | to the standard Debian documentation. | |
