Flavour of linux to use for Purify ?

Mani · **Author**

Does anybody know a good version of linux to use that will work with Rational Rose Purify ?

Fedora Core 3 isn't supported by it (crashes out all the time when I tried it)

you could try fedora 2 since im pretty sure thats the most stable version

I just ordered two 40 gig disks with caddies, so I'll install FC2 and another flavour (maybe Debian) for purify runs and testing.

Anybody know any good links on how to install multiple linux OS's onto one disk ? That would increase the number of different types of linux I can support.

I got purify working on Windows and it highlighted some problems I would never have found and some problems with the Valve dlls with file IO that I can do nothing about. Well worth the time it took to get it working. I still want to see it in action on linux though

VMWare is great for that but very expensive.

I swear by three distros: Debian, Slackware, and Gentoo.

I'm really just after a multi-boot system rather than trying to run multiple OS's at the same time. With 3 caddies I can swap out each disk and use at least 3 different distros, but it would be nice to install more than one linux OS on each disk. Most links seem to be on 'How do I multi boot Win98/XP/Linux'

Slackware for life, gentlemen.

FC3 is SLOW AS ASS on vmware. ASS.

some of the newer distros will work well if you have grub installed, I believe it was ubuntu that I installed that automatically found my other OS ( debian) and made corrections so I could boot into either. or something along those line I dont remember the distros but the it was extremly easy.
