Thus, as it was not distributed from outside doors, hence that’s why we never heard about VzLinux. It is because till now VzLinux was used by Virtuozzo only for in-house as a guest operating system for containers and virtual machines.
Virtuozzo, has more than 20 years of experience in virtualization space, then how come we have never heard about VzLinux? It isĪ Linux system maintained by Virtuozzo, a virtualization services company with a long history behind it. And one of them is VzLinux.Īlthough VzLinuz appears a stranger to the Linux community, however, it has been around for quite a while. I don’t think taking a U-turn for CentOS was a wise idea because it doesn’t only give birth to two new Redhat Linux clones that can be counted on but also more are underway. AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux are the best examples of that. Since then other developers started to compensate for this void by trying to provide the best alternative to CentOS, a leading server OS on cloud and hosting services, free of cost. Last year RedHat announced the ending of Long term support for CentOS 8, which was really a shock to the Linux community, especially for those relying on it for their server applications.
