Need supported Linux when running Jazz Team Server on WAS?
![](http://jazz.net/_images/myphoto/a405d7148966a267a780352c8a042d55.jpg)
If I wanted to install Jazz Team Server from RTC 1.0 and had a pre-existing WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 6.1 server would I need to install the server software on a supported OS?
We have WAS 6.1 running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0 (RHEL 4.0 is not supported by RTC). We do not have a a RHEL 5.0 environment so, presumably, cannot install the standalone Apache Tomcat version. We do have a Oracle database environment so that part is fine.
From the documentation it appears this will probably be fine as the Team Server is a straight J2EE app without anything strange outside of what WAS/Tomcat provide.
Thanks, in advance, for your reply.

RTC should have no problems running on most Linux variants. The
'supported OS' is a statement about official IBM support, ie. if you ran
into a problem on RHEL 4.0 and could not re-produce it on RHEL 5.0, then
we would likely approach that bug with a reduced priority. Lots of
people run RTC on different variants of Linux, and you most likely not
have any problems running on RHEL 4.0.
