We put software into three categories, "Recommended and Fully Supported", "Supported" and
"Not
Supported". If you want your network and workstations to have the greatest
level of stability (and who does not) we strongly suggest that you use only
those products that are "Recommended and Fully Supported". Software that is
"Supported" works, but either not as well as a "Recommended
and Fully Supported" product or it is
known to cause some minor problems or we just have limited experience with it. If you choose to run software that is "Not Supported" you
will very likely run into problems.
If you have a question regarding our policy for a specific software (we can't
list them all), please don't hesitate to ask.
