A lot of packages are outdated with breaking bugs, they have been reported on the official bug tracker but they are just not taken care of. They pride themselves for being faster than the other RHEL alternatives to ship releases but they are way behind. Officially it is at 8.5, but many packages are still on 8.0, which is obviously not good. No, at the moment I would not recommend this distribution to anybody. Hopefully it will get better.

Gnome is okay, but it would be perfect with a xfce desktop." 8 months later: I don't need the xfce desktop, anymore. VZLINUX is still my daily driver, today. Let's say, we grew to each other. I learned to live with some difficulties, and changed many things to my needs. It is very safe and secure. This is no 'mainstream' distro, but if you go for it, it will make you more happy today than you were yesterday. I will keep it as long as possible. It is the perfect no-nonsens distro for me.

They claim to be super fast, faster than CentOS was at keeping up with RHEL. It turns out that they are quite slow. At the time of writing this review every RHEL rebuild project offers kernel 4.18.0-348.12 while VzLinux is sitll on 4.18.0-348.7 so they are effectively the slowest of the pack. Affter installing from ISO, there are 2 weird repositories called "Started10" and "Started12" enabled. All the repositories are merged into the virtuozzolinux-base repository. No support for secure boot. I don't think VzLinux is as good as the other options. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 10 reader reviews of VzLinux...
