CrossOver Linux Requirements

  • x86 compatible PC system, 200 MHz or higher

    (400 MHz+ recommended for QuickTime)

  • Linux distribution (32 bit, or 64 bit with 32 bit compatibility library installed)
    Tested on
    • Ubuntu 6.06/7.04(1)
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 4 and 5 (2)
    • openSUSE 10.2
    • SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10
    • Fedora Core 6 and 7 (3)

    If a distribution is listed here, that means two things: our regression suite had to pass on that distribution before we would ship, and that we are ready and able to support customers that use that distribution. Note that prior to running our regression test, each test system was updated to its most current patch set as of September 1, 2007. We test on both 32 bit and 64 bit systems running each distribution, and, where possible, we test both KDE and Gnome.

    (1) Ubuntu 7.04 has a font that can cause problems in CrossOver. See this FAQ for more information.

    (2) Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 uses a form of SELinux that does not allow CrossOver to function properly by default. Their default tool will allow you to customize permissions to allow it to work, however.

    (3) Fedora Core has a range of experimental technologies that often break Wine, and therefore CrossOver. You will likely have to change your system in order to get CrossOver to work, particularly on 64 bit systems.

    You should be able to run this on a variety of other distributions, particularly older versions of the distributions listed here. However, our ability to test and support older or other configurations is somewhat limited. Gentoo users in particular should note that we do not install or test on Gentoo, nor do we have any plans to do so, so you should use CrossOver at your own risk. We have many customers happily using Gentoo, but we also have a high number of users with problems on Gentoo.
