Trial & Error with RedHat 6.0

More likely than not, all of these products will run on Debian.  The main 
problem is compatible libraries.  The dynamic runtime libraries need to be at
a particular level, and I would guess that most vendors statically link their
applications to avoid problems.

Probably, none of these applications depend on particular kernel features, and
most of the distributions are at the same kernel rev level anyway.
