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 | |
| 65647b07 | 12 | Administrator\'s Handbook] is available online, and provides a |
| 419ef454 DM |
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. | |
