In this article, we will describe the technical advantages and features of the EuroLinux ecosystem. We will also present release notes along with the jumpstart documentation.

Open Core

Since version 8.3, EuroLinux is available both as a paid supported subscription and free of charge in the Open Core model. The advantage of such a solution is to deliver the greatest possible value to users and the community. It is a modern, transparent and responsible business model.

Since version 8.3, every user of the EuroLinux system and EuroLinux containers receives a complete system with updates released at the same time for users using the paid and free versions.

The paid version of the system provides additionally, among others:

  • direct manufacturer’s technical support
  • access to additional intermediate packages (if the support service requires this)
  • the opportunity to influence product development.

For no charge EuroLinux is also available as the released EuroLinux 9 and EuroLinux 9 Desktop versions. These free versions are full featured, but do not include commercial support for the product.

The complete stack – all system versions

EuroLinux is available and supported in versions 9.x, 8.x, 7.x and 6.x. As a result, it can be used as the only system in the organization’s ecosystem.

The latest supported versions of EuroLinux are:

  • 9.1 – fully supported system (9.2 beta is under development)
  • 8.8 beta – development version
  • 8.7 – fully supported system
  • 7.9 – fully supported system
  • 6.10 – system supported with Euro ELS (Extended Life Support – individual subscriptions).
