{pve} is based on the famous https://www.debian.org/[Debian] Linux
distribution. That means that you have access to the whole world of
Debian packages, and the base system is well documented. The
The following sections will focus on common virtualization tasks and explain the
{pve} specifics regarding the administration and management of the host machine.
{pve} is based on https://www.debian.org/[Debian GNU/Linux] with additional
repositories to provide the {pve} related packages. This means that the full
range of Debian packages is available including security updates and bug fixes.
{pve} provides it's own Linux kernel based on the Ubuntu kernel. It has all the
necessary virtualization and container features enabled and includes
https://zfsonlinux.org[ZFS] and several extra hardware drivers.
For other topics not included in the following sections, please refer to the
Debian documentation. The
https://debian-handbook.info/download/stable/debian-handbook.pdf[Debian
Administrator\'s Handbook] is available online, and provides a
comprehensive introduction to the Debian operating system (see
xref:Hertzog13[]).
A standard {pve} installation uses the default repositories from
Debian, so you get bug fixes and security updates through that
channel. In addition, we provide our own package repository to roll
out all {pve} related packages. This includes updates to some
Debian packages when necessary.
We also deliver a specially optimized Linux kernel, where we enable all
required virtualization and container features. That kernel includes
drivers for http://zfsonlinux.org/[ZFS], and several hardware drivers.
For example, we ship Intel network card drivers to support their
newest hardware.
The following sections will concentrate on virtualization related
topics. They either explain things which are different on {pve}, or
tasks which are commonly used on {pve}. For other topics, please refer
to the standard Debian documentation.
