-System requirements
--------------------
-
-For production servers, high quality server equipment is needed. Keep
-in mind, if you run 10 Virtual Servers on one machine and you then
-experience a hardware failure, 10 services are lost. {pve}
-supports clustering, this means that multiple {pve} installations
-can be centrally managed thanks to the included cluster functionality.
-
-{pve} can use local storage (DAS), SAN, NAS and also distributed
-storage (Ceph RBD). For details see xref:chapter-storage[chapter storage].
-
-Minimum requirements, for evaluation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* CPU: 64bit (Intel EMT64 or AMD64)
-
-* RAM: 1 GB RAM
-
-* Hard drive
-
-* One NIC
-
-Recommended system requirements
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* CPU: 64bit (Intel EMT64 or AMD64), Multi core CPU recommended
-
-* RAM: 8 GB is good, more is better
-
-* Hardware RAID with batteries protected write cache (BBU) or flash
- based protection
-
-* Fast hard drives, best results with 15k rpm SAS, Raid10
-
-* At least two NICĀ“s, depending on the used storage technology you need more
-
-
-Getting Help
-------------
-
-There are basically two different support channels. {pve} itself if
-fully open source, so we always encourage our users to discuss and
-share their knowledge using the http://forum.proxmox.com/[Community
-Support Forum]. The forum is fully moderated by the Proxmox support
-team. Up to now, the forum has about 25.000 members, and more than
-120.000 messages. Needless to say that such a large forum is a great
-place to get information.
-
-The second channel is the commercial support provided by
-{proxmoxGmbh}. {pve} server subscriptions can be ordered online, see
-http://shop.maurer-it.com[{pve} Shop]. For all details see
-http://www.proxmox.com/proxmox-ve/pricing[{pve} Subscription Service
-Plans].
-
-Please contact the mailto:office@proxmox.com[Proxmox sales team] for
-commercial support requests or volume discounts.

-Package Repositories
---------------------
-
-All Debian based systems use
-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool[APT] as package
-management tool. The list of repositories is defined in
-'/etc/apt/sources.list' and '.list' files found inside
-'/etc/apt/sources.d/'. Updates can be installed directly using
-'apt-get', or via the GUI.
-
-Apt 'sources.list' files lists one package repository per line, with
-the most preferred source listed first. Empty lines are ignored, and a
-'#' character anywhere on a line marks the remainder of that line as a
-comment. The information available from the configured sources is
-acquired by 'apt-get update'.
-
-.File '/etc/apt/sources.list'
-----
-deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib
-
-# security updates
-deb http://security.debian.org jessie/updates main contrib
-----
-
-In addition, {pve} provides three different package repositories.
-
-{pve} Enterprise Repository
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-This is the default, stable and recommended repository, available for
-all {pve} subscription users. It contains the most stable packages,
-and is suitable for production use. You need a valid subscription key
-to access this repository. The `pve-enterprise` repository is enabled
-by default:
-
-.File '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list'
-----
-deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian jessie pve-enterprise
-----
-
-NOTE: You can disable this repository by commenting out the above line
-using a '#' (at the start of the line). This prevents error messages
-if you do not have a subscription key. Please configure the
-`pve-no-subscription` repository in that case.
-
-As soon as updates are available, the `root@pam` user is notified via
-email about the available new packages. On the GUI, the change-log of
-each package can be viewed (if available), showing all details of the
-update. So you will never miss important security fixes.
-
-{pve} No-Subscription Repository
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-As the name suggests, you do not need a subscription key to access
-this repository. It can be used for testing and non-production
-use. Its not recommended to run on production servers, as these
-packages are not always heavily tested and validated.
-
-We recommend to configure this repository in '/etc/apt/sources.list'.
-
-.File '/etc/apt/sources.list'
