Hi Kaya:
Fedora will definitely not work (we tried). However, you should
check out Oracle Linux 6.1. It's not as bleeding edge as Fedora, but
it is more modern than RHEL 5.7.
Don't. See below.
I am guessing that SRSS will need to be updated and modified slightly
in order to cope with the newer GDM in order to get things going..... :-(
First GDM will need to be modified to support multiple 'seats' again.
There are patches available in the GDM project, but they have not been
accepted into the main version by the (Red Hat) maintainer yet.
AFAIK no Linux distro currently ships GDM (>= 2.22) with these patches.
Solaris 11 Express has them.
SRSS has some modifications to work with the patched GDM, but needs
additional work to get this fully ready on any platform.
This modification however, may or may not happen depending on what
Oracle decide for their own Linux variant; but, if generic
compatibility wants be achieved this seems to be the needed path to take!
I can't comment on Oracle's plans for SRSS on OEL, but you may have
noticed that Oracle VDI just added OEL (5.6) as a supported platform in
its latest release.
I obviously can't say whether and when other Linux distributions will
pick up multi-seat patches for GDM (and ConsoleKit, but Red Hat
apparently is moving away from ConsoleKit again), so you may have to
build your own patched version of GDM as one prerequisite for installing
SRSS for some time to come.
I definitely need to check out Oracle Linux anyway so I may build a VM
of both Solaris 11 and OL6.1 as learning both is going be incredibly
helpful.
We haven't gotten to the stage of installing on Oracle Linux 6.1
yet. But, Oracle support has assured us that it does work.
They should not have. No released version of SRSS is supported on OEL
6.x - and afaik they won't work at all. SRSS 5.2 is supported on OEL 5.6
only.
