Expanding Interoperability to Community Linux | |
|
||
| Time: 08:23 EST/13:23 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

We’ve already made some appreciable gains, and during my keynote at OSBC tomorrow morning I will share the expansion of our interoperability plans to community Linux. Specifically, effective immediately, Microsoft will support Windows Server2008 R2 Hyper-V to run CentOS. CentOS is a popular Linux distribution for Hosters, and this was the number one requirement for interoperability that we heard from that community. | ||

| Um, what? CentOS is basically RHEL compiled from source, last I checked. I'm a VMware guy, not Hyper-V, but do they not have a Linux def for RedHat? |

I've been running CentOS 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, and now 5.6 on Hyper-V. It has always been possible to install and run CentOS on Hyper-V, but until now, it was not "supported" (meaning Microsoft Product Support Services would refuse to answer any questions, post any KB articles, or otherwise facilitate smooth installation and operation of CentOS on Hyper-V).
In tangible terms, this meant that there was no ready-to-use RPM available for "Integration Components" (Hyper-V's equivalent of "VMware Tools"); it meant that there was no guidance explaining that you must modify the NIC config immediately after creating a new VM because Hyper-V's GUI "wizard" always adds a "Network Adapter" but you need it to be the "Legacy Network Adapter" instead; it meant that if you wanted to run xorg, you had to hunt for Satori (mouse support which isn't included with the Integration Components because it is maintained by Citrix for Xen). None of this stuff would be challenging if you were well-versed in both CentOS and Hyper-V. However, most people tend to learn toward one side. |
