Distributions updated
Several distributions have released recently, so we have updated our distribution images and netboot installers. Here is the list of new releases:
- Fedora 26
- Ubuntu Artful 17.10
- FreeBSD 11.1
- NetBSD 7.1
- OpenBSD 6.2
If you decide to install Ubuntu Artful, we’ve made a couple of changes
to the default install. The distribution originally shipped with
systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved used for network management
and name resolution, respectively. We have disabled them both
in our image. Network interfaces are instead configured with the
widely-known ifupdown method used in several other distros we support,
and resolvconf is used for managing the /etc/resolv.conf
file.
In September of 2017, we discovered that CentOS 7.4 does not boot for paravirtualized guests. When we updated our CentOS 7 image, we needed it to work for both PV and HVM customers, so we are now using the kernel from the CentOS Plus repository, rather than the stock CentOS 7 kernel.
As usual, the source can be found at prgmr-image-source on GitHub.
