Anyone that has any experience with CFX5 and CFX4 with Linux RedHat 8.*. Does it work? Thanks in advance Jan

Dear Jan,

We use CFX 5.5.1 with RedHat 7.3. This works OK, including distributed parallel calculations with WinNT and Win2000.

We do not expect any problems with RedHat 8.*. Do you know thing we don't know?

Astrid

No, I have just asked CFX if they support Redhat 8.0 and the reply was,

"We do not yet have any experience of CFX-4 and CFX-5 under Linux RedHat 8.*."

My IT department has now installed version 8 so I guess I will know. (They asked my which version I would like, I said 7, they replied we have 6 or 8 )). I said wait I will check with CFX and I returned to them and said for safety use 6, they answered we have installed 8 )) - Final

Regards Jan

Please keep me informed if you encounter any problems.

Hi Jan,
I was wondering if really matters the distribution of Linux and its version. We run CFX-5 including distributed parallel under Slackware 8.1 and we did not find any problems at all.

Thanks, Nor do I expect any problems, but it would be stupid as a total newbie to Linux to select a version which might have given experienced user problems. So I just wanted to check out. Regards Jan

The different Linux cores are very similar (among different brands and versions) as fas as I know so little difficulties should be expeceted, in principles.
