IBM Lotus Quickr Version 8.1.1 (Linux on x86) Updated 10/01/2009

This page describes the minimum product levels that need to be installed before opening a problem report with the IBM Lotus Quickr Support team. Because other products frequently ship fixes, updates, and new releases, testing every configuration is not possible. In general, you can install and run with updates to supported products if those updates are forward compatible.

The list below identifies the supported products that work with IBM Lotus Quickr on a Linux on x86 operating system.The supported product can run, but does not need to run, on the same machine or operating system where IBM Lotus Quickr runs. Check product-specific software requirements to determine whether software runs native or connected to IBM Lotus Quickr.

IBM Lotus Quickr on Linux on x86 supports:
Linux on x86 hardware requirements
  • Minimum 4 GB free disk space for installation for IBM Lotus Quickr
  • Under minimal load, Lotus Quickr can function with 2G of RAM. However, 4G is an optimal starting point for RAM in a production environment
  • CD-ROM drive
  • Processor: CPU speeds of late-model, mid-range to high-end servers are recommended. Pentium 1 GHz or equivalent at a minimum. Production environments should consider the Pentium 4 processor at 2.5 GHz or higher.
