    Operating System Certification - Present List

    Philippe Defert , IT/PDP


    Abstract

    This article is a regular reference point for the list of operating systems certified and supported by the UNIX support team.


    As stated in CNL 224, here is the list of various versions of UNIX which we certify as working correctly with the CERN-recommended libraries, tools and utilities as of March, 2000:

    • Linux Red Hat 6.1 - certified and recommended
    • Linux Red Hat 5.1 - certified, frozen from May 2000
    • Solaris 2.6 - certified and recommended
    • HP-UX 10.20 ACE - certified and recommended
    • Digital UNIX 4.0.d - certified and recommended
    • AIX/6000 4.3.2 - certified and recommended

    For those interested in the certification process, it is described in the Web page:

    http://wsspinfo.cern.ch/file/certified.html

    The certification of Solaris 7 will begin soon and DEC UNIX 4.0f is going to be considered for certification in the next weeks.

    The latest news on the certification procedure is always published in the newsgroups associated with each UNIX flavour (for example cern.linux, etc.) and summarised in the Web page listed above and in each subsequent CNL.


    About the author(s): Philippe Defert is the UNIX support manager.
