#### Older distributions
For older distributions like CentOS 6, Debian 7, Ubuntu 12.04, compatibility is not
assured.
Their `libc` version is incompatible with kernel releases after `>=4.11`.
A work around this is to use the `vsyscall=emulate` flag in the bootloader of the
host.
Keep also in mind that mirrors could be down for such old releases, so you will
need to build a [custom distrobox image to ensure basic dependencies are met](./distrobox_custom.md).
