In this case the original question was regarding an Adobe/Macromedia product. I know that I have had the exact same results on RedHat Ent as I have on Cent, getting Adobe ColdFusion up and running. I know its a different product, but its by the same company. So for what thats worth, it seems like it SHOULD work ok. :) _________________________ Bryan Murphy, CISSP Information Technology Coordinator MSU Plant Research Lab & Plant Biology http://infotech.prl.msu.edu -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group on behalf of Adam McDougall Sent: Thu 2/8/2007 4:22 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] MSUMAIL: Re: [MSUNAG] Linux application server question At Engineering we've had good luck so far running engineering applications on Linux distributions other than the officially supported platforms, although some take some coaxing to install in the first place. One trick would be to install on the supported platform and just copy the needed files over to the production server. And as far as support goes, my personal feeling is that if you needed commercial support from the app vendor, you can always do an install on their preferred platform, solve the same problem, and apply the fix to your desired platform that is actually running the software in question. If you really need it in production to have it fixed, break down and put a new server in production for a week or two that runs redhat or whatever.

Companies do this for the very reason of not staffing people to support every flavor out there. Most companies worth a darn will at least try and help you, but they are not obligated to. Also I have had mixed results when trying to run software on Fedora, or CentOS that says it is supported on RedHat.
