There are previous postings from me on this forum discussing RHEL5 - I am
actually using it on my laptop all the time for the last 6 months.
However,
the official sup****t is from IC612 onwards. The "S" that Riad noticed
indicates
a "solution" release - usually this is a vehicle we have to use to
introduce now
licensed products, even if the actual code is not released as part of the
ICS612
stream.
See http://tinyurl.com/49kcqy
(which in turn references another post).
Actually the idea is to only sup****t RHEL5 in 64 bit mode. Given that
modern
hardware is 64 bit, there's a dimini****ng benefit in sup****ting on 32 bit
hardware/OS. Nobody asks for Solaris sup****t on 32 bit for years now, so
there's no real reason why Linux should be any different. Many recent
laptops
(especially if you want to use them for compute purposes too) are also 64
bit
(mine is 64 bit and dual-core, for example).

Andrew.
