* CrossOver Linux Requirements *

* Linux distribution * (32 bit, or 64 bit with 32 bit compatibility library installed)
Tested on
o Ubuntu 8.04/9.10 [1]
o Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 4 and 5 [2]
o openSUSE 10.2, 11.x
o Fedora Core 11 and 12
o Debian Stable
o Mint 7
o CentOS 5.3 [1]

* If a distribution is listed here, that means two things: we test regularly on that distribution and that we are ready and able to support customers that use that distribution. We test on both 32 bit and 64 bit systems running each distribution, and, where possible, we test both KDE(3) and Gnome. You should be able to run this on a variety of other distributions, particularly older versions of the distributions listed here. However, our ability to test and support older or other configurations is somewhat limited.

NOTE: Users of Gentoo, self-compiled, and "lightweight" distributions such as Arch, Puppy, Mepis, and Linpus in particular should note that we do not install or test on any of these systems, nor do we have any plans to do so, so you should use CrossOver at your own risk. We have many customers happily using such distributions, but we also have a number of users with problems in running CrossOver on these distributions.

* 100 MB of free disk space
* python >= 2.4
* gtk2 >= 2.10
* python-gtk2 >= 2.10

(1) CrossOver 8.0 requires the libgnutls26 package for encryption purposes. Ubuntu 8.04 and CentOS 5.3 (and earlier
versions of both distributions) use the libgnutls13 package, and thus some Windows apps which call upon this
package will not function correctly in CrossOver 8.0 with these distributions.
(2) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 uses a form of SELinux that does not allow CrossOver to function properly by
default. Their default tool will allow you to customize permissions to allow it to work, however.
(3) As of March 2, 2010, KDE 4.4 has a bug that can prevent CrossOver menus from appearing. We are working to find a resolution for this.

* Bottle Functionality *

A bottle is a virtual Windows environment. Each bottle contains a unique C: drive and all its standard sub directories: Windows, Program Files, etc. A bottle also contains a complete Windows registry, a full set of most CrossOver settings, and one or more Windows applications. CrossOver allows you to maintain multiple bottles in one CrossOver installation. This is like having several different Windows machines operating together on your computer. This is useful anytime you want to install multiple applications yet prevent them from interacting or damaging one another. For example: Typically the Internet Explorer 6.0 installer upgrades any existing Internet Explorer 5.0 installation. Using bottles it is possible to install Internet Explorer 6.0 into a new, empty bottle, while leaving an existing install of Internet Explorer 5.0 intact and untouched, thus letting web developers run both simultaneously.Multiple bottles are also useful anytime a particular application requires special system settings that are otherwise undesirable. It is also possible to maintain bottles that emulate different Windows versions. For example, Microsoft Office 2003 only works on Windows versions 2000 or later, whereas Microsoft Office 97 runs best in a bottle that emulates Windows 98. CrossOver also makes it easy to backup bottles, and thus all the Windows applications they contain. Backing up a bottle gives you a .cxarchive file which you can then restore on any machine, along with all the relevant Wine settings, desktop menus, browser plugins and file associations. Finally, for Linux users, CrossOver Linux Professional has the ability to create an RPM package out of a bottle. This service allows you to create a bottle on one system, package it up, reinstall it on many additional machines, or simply upload it to the server holding your RPMs thus automating the installation of the Windows applications. This is by far the easiest way to deploy a set of Windows applications on a large network.
