Supported Linux Distributions

We developed and tested these recipes on the following Linux distributions:

  • Red Hat Linux 8.0, kernel 2.4.18

  • SuSE Linux 8.0, kernel 2.4.18

  • Red Hat Linux 7.0, kernel 2.2.22 (for the ipchains recipes in Chapter 2)

In addition, our technical review team tested recipes on Red Hat 6.2, SuSE 8.1, Debian 3.0, and Mandrake 9.0. Overall, most recipes should work fine on most distributions, as long as you have the necessary programs installed.
