| | 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. |
