Hardware certifications
EuroLinux is hardware-compatible with any device certified for Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® and Oracle® Linux. The list of certified hardware for EuroLinux is therefore the same as the list published by the manufacturers of these systems.
Virtualization
EuroLinux supports the following virtualization platforms: VMware, Microsoft® Hyper-V, Red Hat® Enterprise Virtualization, Oracle® VirtualBox, XEN, KVM. EuroLinux can also be installed in all popular cloud and hybrid solutions.
Java virtual machine (JVM)
One of the components of the EuroLinux operating system is the JVM. By installing any of the certified Java™ virtual machines e.g. OpenJDK (available in EuroLinux as standard), the user gets a fully working EuroAP, EuroSSO or JBoss® platform on EuroLinux. The EuroLinux repositories contain the same OpenJDK versions as the RHEL® repositories.
