Description Dirk Ahrnke univentionstaff 2019-06-21 15:52:43 CEST 
The manual still says in https://docs.software-univention.de/manual-4.4.html#installation:vmware that "Other Linux" should be used instead of "Debian".
Given that this requirement dates back to 2013 (see bug 31085) it may well be that this statement is deprecated and should be removed.

as a reference, the paedML-Linux requirements are:
- ESXi 6.5 or later
- vmxNet3 (instead of e1000)
- profile "Debian 9 (64Bit)"
Comment 3 Nico Gulden univentionstaff 2023-07-06 15:25:29 CEST 
The manual says that the "Debian" profile can't be used for UCS, although it's based on Debian. I assume, this rationale is no longer valid.

Besides the customer reference, have you made practical experience with VMware ESXi and running UCS as role "Debian"?
Comment 5 Nico Gulden univentionstaff 2023-07-10 14:55:43 CEST 
From the recommendation given at the bug, I changed the text accordingly.
