I had a long chat with the RM team about three weeks ago. It was still up and running then, however it will only run on Redhat.
Why specifically? It would be interesting to know what the specific dependencies are because if they are simply lack of sensible planning for open standards it needs highlighting. Or is it just its only guaranteed to run on RH?
The installer is generic - reading through it says : ##### not yet properly tested in SUSE or Debian ##### Though it would probably work with some tweaking. There are also other generic instructions in the readme for fedora etc. I don't see a problem with RM only supporting RHEL - There are so many distros around they couldn't support them all.
I was under the impression there were more general problems and a Windows server was required or a Citrix connection to a windows server. It would be useful to get accurate facts on this for dealings with BECTA.
Correct. A windows terminal server is required to run the KS3 software 'on' linux. The application so far only runs on windows. RM are selling it as cross-platform -it isn't.
