Hi Paul,

I've used 6.1.3 on Debian as a NetWorker client without problems. Had to
convert the RPM to Debian format using Alien (no RPM package manager
installed!) then needed to add a couple of packages to keep dependencies
happy (termcap and ncurses if memory serve). Following that could backup and
recover without issue from my Debian servers!

Don't expect much support from Legato if things go wrong though - it's not
supported after all!

Cheers

Mark
