As stated in CNL 224, here is the list of various versions of UNIX which we certify as working correctly with the CERN-recommended libraries, tools and utilities as of March, 1999:
The introduction of HP-UX 10.20 ACE and Digital UNIX 4.0.d was motivated by Year 2000 compliance and some new hardware requirements. Solaris 2.5.1 can also be made Y2K compliant, see the "CERN Solaris Installation Guide" for detailed information.
For those interested in the certification process, it is described in the Web page:
http://wsspinfo.cern.ch/file/certified.html
The latest news on the certification procedure is always
published in the newsgroups associated with each UNIX flavour (for
example
cern.linux, etc.) and summarised in the Web page listed
above and in each subsequent CNL.
