A topic for discussion about a comment by RHEL developer.

I throw this open to the community, I have no knowledge and defer to those who do:

"We never ever go into a customer and say, 'There's an application that's not supported on RHEL," Cormier said. "If it's supported on Windows, it's supported on RHEL."

Okaaaayyyyyyyyy that means that I can plop my crossword puzzle program into RHEL and it will "just run", completely, with all bells an whistles?

If I plop it into any distro that I, personally, have used, I see the module for entering the terms and clues but the puzzle itself, does not display and a printout does not put either the clues or the puzzle ont the page, depending on I don't know what...

but...RHEL will "run anything that Windows will run".....hmmmm

any comments?

No! they are not selling utopia out of a box. This means they(red hat) have enough expertise to get anything to work, if you are a paying customer.
