All Linux distributions must be running glibc-2.1.3-11 or later, gcc/egcs
libstdc++ 2.9, and 2.2 kernel or later. For performance reasons, the Cold-
Fusion team recommends performing a Linux Server or Custom install
of Red Hat 6.x rather than KDE or GNOME installation.
†
ClusterCATS and Application Management features are not supported on
this platform.
‡ ColdFusion Server provides a precompiled module that is binary compat-
ible with versions 1.3.6 through 1.3.19. ColdFusion Server also provides
the files required to build a version of the ColdFusion plug-in module for
a custom version of Apache 1.3.x. For more information, see “Configur-
ing Web servers manually” on page 48.
