Please note that Red Hat is just one of many Linux distros.
I assume your question is about Red Hat 7.1, right?

Please call it correctly, Red Hat 7.x. Linux trademark belongs to
Linus Torvalds and not to Red Hat.

I also successfully installed Linux client on SuSE 7.1. SuSE uses
inetd by default, so there are no such problems with xinetd.
NBU client works on SuSE too.
