  <title>Supported Guest Operating Systems</title>
  
  <body>
    <p>
      Because Oracle VM VirtualBox is designed to provide a generic
      virtualization environment for x86 systems, it can run guest
      operating systems (OSes) of any kind.
    </p>
    <p>
      The following guest OS platforms are supported:
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <p><b outputclass="bold">Platforms With Full Support.</b>
          These guest OS platforms qualify for Oracle Premier Support.
          See <xref href="#guestossupport/table-premier-support"/>.
        </p>
      </li>
      <li>
        <p><b outputclass="bold">Platforms With Limited
          Support.</b> These legacy guest OS platforms can be
          used with Oracle VM VirtualBox, but only qualify for <i>best
          effort</i> support. Therefore, resolution of customer
          issues is not guaranteed. See
          <xref href="#guestossupport/table-limited-support"/>.
