Network Edition on Suse 9.3?

Hi,
does the Network Edition (4.0) run on SuSE Linux 9.3? The documentation says that it needs Suse Enterprise Linux 9. Does it really need the Enterprise Linux?

Yes, it will run on several flavours but the supported platforms are the ones in the documentation.

Additionnal info I got a couple of days ago : Zimbra is not (yet ?) supported in a VMWare instance (even ESX with RHES).

what sort of an answer is that?
goetzi, it's worth a go. certainly sles10 is based on suse 10(.1), i think sles9 was based on suse 9 but deviated quite substantially from it. might work! both sles9 and sles10 are free to download however. sled10 is a fantastic desktop os and is very (very) similar to suse10.1 and sles10 so is likely to work with the suse10 release. the zimbra suse10 release i think is for the free recently renamed opensuse10 which you can get from http://www.opensuse.org.

The answer is very clear.
You can setup Zimbra (both Open Source and Network Edition) on quite a large number of distributions.
As of version 4.0 RC1 (look at the date of this post), if you want to have support (for your Network Edition), you can only use : Red Hat Entreprise Linux ES version 4 (32 or 64 bits)

Red Hat Entreprise Linux AS version 4 (32 or 64 bit)

Mac OSÃ‚Â® X 10.4.7

SUSE ES 9 (32-bit)

And no VMWare (nor Xen I guess).
More information is available in the system requirement PDF.

It's the correct answer, if you want support from Zimbra you have to use a recommended and supported platform.

That's not what he asked.

I gave the answer to the original poster earlier.. As you are well aware I was answering your question and not the original question.
It's not worth 'a go' installing the NE version of Zimbra on anything but the supported platform.
