\index[general]{Supported Operating Systems }
\begin{itemize}
-\item Linux systems (built and tested on CentOS 5).
-\item Most flavors of Linux (Gentoo, Red Hat, Fedora, Mandriva,
- Debian, OpenSuSE, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, ...).
-\item Solaris various versions.
-\item FreeBSD (tape driver supported in 1.30 -- for FreeBSD older than
- version 5.0, please see some {\bf important} considerations in the
- \ilink{ Tape Modes on FreeBSD}{FreeBSDTapes} section of the
- Tape Testing chapter of this manual.)
-\item Windows (Win98/Me, WinNT/2K/XP, Vista) Client (File daemon) binaries.
-\item The Windows servers (Director and Storage daemon) are available
- in the binary Client installer. The are reported to work in
- many cases. However they are NOT supported.
-\item MacOS X/Darwin (see \elink{ http://fink.sourceforge.net/}{http://fink.sourceforge.net/} for
- obtaining the packages)
-\item OpenBSD Client (File daemon).
-\item Irix Client (File daemon).
-\item Tru64
-\item Bacula is said to work on other systems (AIX, BSDI, HPUX, NetBSD, ...) but we
- do not have first hand knowledge of these systems.
-\item RHat 7.2 AS2, AS3, AS4, RHEL5, Fedora Core 2,3,4,5,6,7 SuSE SLES
- 7,8,9,10,10.1,10.2,10.3
- and Debian Woody and Sarge Linux on
- S/390 and Linux on zSeries.
-\item See the Porting chapter of the Bacula Developer's Guide for information
- on porting to other systems.
-
-\item If you have a older Red Hat Linux system running the 2.4.x kernel and
- you have the directory {\bf /lib/tls} installed on your system (normally by
- default), bacula will {\bf NOT} run. This is the new pthreads library and it
- is defective. You must remove this directory prior to running Bacula, or you
- can simply change the name to {\bf /lib/tls-broken}) then you must reboot
- your machine (one of the few times Linux must be rebooted). If you are not
- able to remove/rename /lib/tls, an alternative is to set the environment
- variable "LD\_ASSUME\_KERNEL=2.4.19" prior to executing Bacula. For this
- option, you do not need to reboot, and all programs other than Bacula will
- continue to use /lib/tls.
-\item The above mentioned {\bf /lib/tls} problem does not occur with Linux 2.6 kernels.
