The problem is that "RHEL 3" is everything from the kernel on up -- and you won't be running the RHEL kernel, but rather the UML kernel. The application might work, but I wouldn't be surprised if it dies or misbehaves in some way, and the commercial vendor will probably disclaim all liability because you're not running it on a supported platform. The only way around this, really, is to run a full virtualisation solution such as VMWare or QEmu, and cross your fingers. Neither UML nor Xen (at least in paravirtualisation mode) is going to give you sufficient isolation to be able to claim that you're actually running full RHEL 3. Given the speed and stability problems of QEmu, and the fact that VMWare player and server are now cost-free, I'd go with VMWare. - Matt ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
