Does Microsoft Hyper-V R2 virtualilzation platform support Debian Linux as a guest OS?
This was selected as Best Answer Apparently yes, but not trivially. I read that Microsoft has recently provided a hyper-V linux kernel module patch which allows linux kernels to run within hyper-V. This has not yet been taken up by the mainline kernel. If you wish to run linux under hyper-V (you must be nuts) at this stage I think you will need to patch the kernel and build it youself to allow it to boot under hyper-V. With a hyper-V enabled kernel any distro should work equivalently well so Deb, RedHat, Ubuntu, etc. should all work the same once the kernel is in place.
