are supported by IBM Cognos Business Intelligence products, including
information on operating systems, patches, browsers, web servers,
directory servers, database servers, and application servers, see

<p class="p">It is
important to note that the Linux operating
system is available in a number of distributions and supports a number
of hardware platforms. Ensure that the Linux distribution
and hardware combination you are using is a supported combination.</p>
 <p class="p">It is important to apply all required operating system
patches and to use only the versions of third-party software that
are supported for an IBM Cognos product. Otherwise, your
product might not work properly.</p>
 <p class="p">The IBM Cognos Software
