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!
