## Common questions

### Can an existing CentOS system be converted to Oracle Linux?

Yes, the centos2ol repository contains a script designed to automatically switch a CentOS instance to Oracle Linux.

### Are official Oracle Linux container images available?

Official Oracle Linux base images are published on GitHub Container Registry, and developer-oriented images can be downloaded from GitHub packages.

### Why might a new Oracle Cloud VPS default to Oracle Linux 8 instead of Oracle Linux 9?

A user reports that Oracle suggests using Oracle Linux 8 by default when setting up a new VPS, which can make Oracle Linux 9 seem less expected even though RHEL 9 has been released for a while.
