#265895 — Virtualization

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hello,

I'm currently using RHEL however, I am still virtualization to play with 
   Debian instead of houseing my RHEL installation . Would the Debian 
community view me as a trator ofr chill for closed source and 
proprietary software? personally prefer the held back  kernel and 
software in RHEL provides for instance  the kernel is listed below.


   4.18.0-513.11.1.el8_9.x86_64 #1 SMP


Thanks,

Chip

We don't care what you use or spend your time on, but this list is
for user support of Debian, so do you have a relevant Debian issue
to discuss?

Thanks,
Andy

Do not worry about being harassed on this list -- most everyone is 
polite, and impolite behavior is dealt with promptly.


Debian offers several choices for virtualization:

https://wiki.debian.org/SystemVirtualization


Debian 12 "Bulleye" is the current "stable" release of Debian:

https://www.debian.org/releases/


Debian also supports the past two previous releases of "stable":

https://wiki.debian.org/LTS


Debian offers lots of software via a package management system.  Binary 
packages are the fast and easy way to install software.  Source packages 
are useful when you want to customize compiled-in features, do 
debugging/ development/ test, etc.:

https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=virtual&searchon=all&suite=stable&section=all


As upstream software projects release new versions, these go into 
"unstable", then "testing", and eventually "stable".  Important software 
updates are sometimes expedited through this process and made available 
as "backport" packages:

https://backports.debian.org/


Some vendors provide servers and packages that integrate into the Debian 
package management system.  This provides the current version of the 
software using the standard Debian package management tools.  For 
example, I use Oracle VirtualBox:

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads


All that said, the only way to find out if an OS is going to meet your 
needs is to get a computer, install the OS, and try to do something 
useful with it.  This mailing list is one of many available help 
resources if you choose Debian.

Welcome aboard.  :-)

Red Hat is Free Open Source Software. It almost seems like a new Red Hat
Clone comes out every 3 - 6 months: Oracle, CentOS, Rocky, Alma, Amazon to
name a few.
