FlashComm 1.5 and Red Hat 9

Installing Red Hat 9 was the sweetest thing, given that the last time I personally installed a Linux box from scratch, the process wasn’t visual at all (we are talking 1999 here). Still, I almost instantly remembered the many times my buddies and I installed different distributions of Linux, just for fun (nerdy, eh?) during my second year of college… just before I left school to sing in a rock band!

Anyways, I was so excited fine tunning my little server that I didn’t read carefully the systems requirements to install Flash Communication Server MX in a Linux server. Now I know that FlashComm 1.5 is not meant for version 9 of Red Hat, it only works with versions 7 and 8. I thought about forcing installation by eliminating the distribution detection subroutines in the installer, but I read somewhere that it wouldn’t work anyway… So, right now I’m trying to figure out a solution to issue: either I install version 8 of Red Hat, or I’d have to wait for a release of FlashComm compatible with Red Hat 9

What do you think?
