Hi Jane,
I am currently running 7.1.4 FixPack4 on AIX 5.3.3... We
are currently going through a server refresh project and my Unix team is
wanting to move to a Linux or Solaris 10 box. I have had very little
exposure to Linux, so would Suse 9.1 Professional be your recommendation?
Thanks, Dave

I have run NetView on a Suse 9.1 Professional and on SLES 9 for at least
18 months now. As you mention, you do need to do a slight hack to get
around the "unsupported version" to run on SuSE pro but this has not
caused me any pain - however I would have to recommend you install on a
SLES 9 system if this is a production NetView because of the support issue.
Prior to this, I ran on RedHat 7.2 (when it was still supported).
My personal preference is for SuSE as I find it a much more manageble
version of Linux from a Sys Admin point-of-view. As far as NetView goes,
I had no issue with either.
Cheers,
Jane
