Which flavors of Linux are supported by CrossOver ?

Hi,
I need crossover for the following flavors of Linux:
centos,opensuse,ubuntu and redhat.

Does crossover run on all of these? Any specific versions you recommend?

Also, is it possible to run Windows command line executables ? Without having to set DISPLAY at all ?

Thanks in Advance

BR,
Dip

CrossOver should run on all of those distros. We dropped official support for OpenSuse a while back which means bugs there won't stop us from shipping, but we do try and fix them over the long haul, and they should be working OK now. OpenSuse 13.2 should work fine. RHEL / CentOS 7 should also be OK, although you'll have to install some libraries by hand if you want MS Outlook running. For Ubuntu just get the latest version.

In theory this ought to work. In practice I'm not sure how often people do it, and your mileage may vary. It is worth trying for sure. We have a 14-day trial and you can file a support ticket even during that period if something doesn't work (no guarantee we can fix everything, but it is still useful for us to hear about bugs).
