1.2. Distribution Support¶

Cobbler currently supports importing a wide array of distributions from many vendors. However, since Cobbler has a history rooted in Red Hat based distributions, support for them is definitely the strongest. For others, the level of support varies from very good to requiring a lot of manual steps to get things working smoothly.

Here is the full list of supported distributions.

Note

This list does not include support for images, which can be just about any OS.

Key:

X: Fully supported
/: Some support, not 100%
