@ -22,20 +22,10 @@ containing the `perf` utility for debugging and performance tracing.
The perf package is called `kernel-perf` and is tagged the same way as
the kernel packages.
In addition to the official kernel images, LinuxKit offers the ability
to build bootable Linux images with kernels from various
distributions. We mostly offer this mostly for testing
purposes. "Foreign" kernel images are created by re-packing the native
kernel packages into hub images. The hub images are typically tagged
with the kernel version.
In summary, LinuxKit offers a choice of the following kernels:
- [linuxkit/kernel](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxkit/kernel/): Official LinuxKit kernels.
- [linuxkit/kernel-mainline](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxkit/kernel-mainline/): Mainline [kernel.org](http://kernel.org) kernels from the [Ubuntu Mainline PPA](http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/).
- [linuxkit/kernel-ubuntu](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxkit/kernel-ubuntu/): Selected Ubuntu kernels.
- [linuxkit/kernel-debian](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxkit/kernel-debian/): Selected Debian kernels.
- [linuxkit/kernel-centos](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxkit/kernel-centos/): Selected CentOS kernels.
- [linuxkit/kernel-fedora](https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxkit/kernel-fedora/): Selected Fedora kernels.
In addition to the official images, there are also some
[scripts](../scripts/kernels) which repackage kernels packages from
some Linux distributions into LinuxKit kernel packages. These are
mostly provided for testing purposes.
