Domino / Notes will only be supported by IBM if it is installed on
RedHat Enterprise Linux or SuSe Linux Enterprise server. I have seen
it running under other distro's including Ubuntu but if something goes
wrong IBM has a hard stance of no support and I am not sure your
customer would accept that.
