PowerEL stands for Power Enterprise Linux,
|
|
it originates from a requirement to have a fully free open source distribution for the IBM POWER 8 and higher platform.
|
|
The distribution takes it's inspiration and origin from various Open Source Enterprise Linux distributions such as
|
|
Red Hat, CentOS, Oracle Linux, Fedora, SuSE, and others.
|
|
PowerEL has been optimized for specific CPU features,
|
|
such as IBM Power8 or higher and Intel x86 AVX or higher, so it only works on cpu's with at least this set of features available.
|
|
PowerEL provides a very convenient way of more packages out of the box.
|
|
PowerEL uses the distro tag pel and uses the same ABI as the open source rhel based systems, so you can use existing binaries on PowerEL.
