Just to throw my 2 cents here:
Approximately 1 year ago we moved from a Solaris 8 sparc NBU server to a
Redhat 7.3 box. I never had a single problem, other than classic file size
limitations. I've even recently installed NBU5 on Gentoo. Appears to have
also worked without any problems.
Veritas has given NBU pretty good Linux support. Kudos to them.
