What operating systems are available?

This list is from the netboot.xyz documentation and may not be accurate.

Keep in mind:

  • An operating system may not be compatible with your server hardware configuration. 
  • Any operating system installed through netboot.xyz must manually be provisioned by you - that means you must configure your network settings and set your own root password. 
  • NodeSpace Technical Support may not support your operating system. You may have to support yourself, even if you have managed services.
  • Some operating systems provided are desktop operating systems. GUIs are not guaranteed to work on server hardware or may have poor performance and not operate as expected.
