hi bay, andy,

i strongly recommend using Xilinx supported operating systems
(eg: RHEL5).

we've encountered some very strange bugs with other
linux variants - these bugs don't appear like they might be operating system
related, but when we switched over to RHEL5, the bugs vanished.

also, xilinx will refuse to answer questions if you aren't using one of the
operating systems they support.

i'm hoping the bulk of the casper community will use RHEL5 or another
xilinx supported system so we can all help each other.

our group has switched to RHEL5 and i recommend it to other groups.

Hi Bay,

We had to move to RHEL5 (64-bit ok) to get versions above 11.3 working.
  I've heard that CentOS works too.
And you really need 64 bit...
We're in the process of setting up a Fedora 13 system, since it's
annoying to have packages as old as RHEL's.  Has anyone had any
trouble with that?

(There's also RHEL6 Beta, but I haven't gotten that to install without
crashing, so I don't think it's quite ready for prime time.)

Should we be installing RHEL 64-bit install or 32-bit? The wiki mentions
64-bit in passing, but I remember there being some problems with 64-bit
earlier...
