WHM with Oracle Linux 6.x ??

[eva2000]

Looking at WHM system requirements at System Requirements - cPanel Inc., RHEL 6 is supported.

So was wondering since Oracle Linux 6.x is close to a clone of RHEL 6.x, if anyone has tried WHM with Oracle Linux 6.x ?

You can even switch from RHEL 6.x to Oracle Linux Unbreakable Kernel builds. So I managed to switch my test CentOS 6.2 to use Oracle Linux Unbreakable Kernel 2.6.32-300.25.1 and 2.6.39-100.7.1 kernels

[root@]# uname -r
2.6.32-300.25.1.el6uek.x86_64

[root@]# uname -r       
2.6.39-100.7.1.el6uek.x86_64

[root@]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago)

[root@]# yum -q list kernel-uek kernel-uek-devel kernel-uek-firmware kernel-uek-headers ql2400-firmware ql2500-firmware

would work ?? Just curious

Even if it does work, we would be unable to support any issues under that system. We only support the OS listed in our documentation.

I would highly suggest opening up a feature request to ask we support that OS instead:

Thanks!

Cheers Tristan, just thought maybe WHM folks have already done internal testing
