“The Small Business Suite is a collection of Linux and Windows
software, including IBM’s DB2 Universal Database, Lotus Domino
Application Server, IBM HTTP Server, WebSphere Homepage Builder for
Linux and Lotus SmartSuite and Notes for Windows.”

“I was disappointed that only a few distributions are supported
by the Small Business Suite: Caldera eDesktop 2.4, Red Hat 6.2,
SuSE 6.4, TurboLinux Workstation 6.0, or TurboLinux Server 6.0. The
Small Business Suite may run on newer versions of those
distributions, but those are the only supported Linux platforms
according to the docs.”

“You may be able to install SBS on another distribution that
supports RPM, but folks running Debian or Slackware are probably
out of luck.”
