I have a couple of HP Visualize boxes (J5000 and C3000) I want to install Linux on these if they will accept it. Is there a place that I can verify they will take it? Are YOU Sancho?....No you are not. Is Scott Baio Sancho?....NO, he is not!....Only.."I"....am Sancho!
 
Linux will configure itself and run on just about anything. If you believe you have some oddball setup, then go to the website of the distro you plan on installing and most will have a compatibility list. I'm pretty sure you will end up putting RedHat on both of them. :)
 
RedHats HCL, says 7.1 has been certified for xl and pl classes HP Visualize servers. I have 7.2, I am assuming this will not be a major problem to load.
Problem I have now is the app I want to load is not ported to Linux yet............ Are YOU Sancho?....No you are not. Is Scott Baio Sancho?....NO, he is not!....Only.."I"....am Sancho!
 
linux can run some windows programs using "wine" but nothing too complicated. Many times, you can find something that will do the same thing as a windows app and doesn't cost you a dime.
