functionality for RH72 - and not anything else. I might end in a
situation where I cant get support, if I choose a different
distribution.

Then you need to have a talk with the vendor. If they are insisting on a
freeware platform they can't provide access to, they're doing something wrong.
It's a long story. In short terms: they are updating the tools as we
speak, but it might not result in any usefull update before late 2008.
They have a defacto monopol in the area - so there's nothing I (a
small fish) can do to speed things up. It's simply not an option at
the moment.
Post by Nico Kadel-GarciaLike a horse and buggy on a modern highway, if
it's exposed to a normal external network or acts as an externally accesible
network server of any kind, you're begging to be cracked with tools that are
years old and will not be updated or fixed.
They are not exposed, but hidden behind more modern servers.

run on contemporary hardware, due to necessary driver updates.
Yep - I know - very well, indeed. It's a problem each time we need a
new "number crusher" for the specific software.
Both on-screen design (quite graphic heavy) and simulation of complex
relationsships.
Post by Nico Kadel-GarciaAnd to preserve stability and manage the server, have
you considered doing it in virtualization?
I think spending a lot of effort in this is overkill, since the
software is HOPEFULLY updated later this year.
Thanks for your response and best regards,
