We have a finance system with around 200 users running Universe 9.6 on Sun Solaris OS 8. For various reasons, we are considering moving to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SuSE Enterprise Linux environment. The Universe/Linux OS release combinations we are initially considering are as follows:
Universe 10.1.1 with RHEL V3 Universe 10.1.12 with SuSE EL Just wondering how many of you have gone through similar Unix to Linux OS changes? What issues should we be aware of prior to this change? More specifically: - Are there issues when converting Universe data files from Unix/Solaris OS to Linux? - Is there difficulty getting printers to function properly on Linux? - Are changes required to any scripts and/or cron daemons running scripts on Linux? - Has Linux proven to be more or less stable than Unix? - Has anyone had success running the Universe/Linux combinations listed above or had success running other combinations? - Any major issues with Universe 10.1.1/10.1.12? I apologize in advance if my questions are a bit too broad. I am simply interested in gaining basic knowledge on the feasibility of running Universe on Linux, and any pitfalls to be aware of. Any information provided will prove valuable as we continue our discussions on a possible move from Unix to Linux. Thank you in advance for your comments!
