This is a common question from customers who still run R2003.
R5000 requires an operating system update to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, but the operating system recommended to run R2003 is Red Hat 3U7. The normal recommendation for a production R5000 upgrade is for users to switch completely to R5000 and no longer access R2003 apps and data. But in certain conditions, such as a test environment, it may be necessary to run a dual R2003 and R5000 environment from the same work station. It is possible to upgrade a current work station to Red Hat 5 and still run R2003, although some issues may be encountered with DepthTeam Express and GeoProbe, and it is not an officially supported platform (R2003 on Red Hat 5) by Landmark. Additionally, an increase of system memory may be necessary.
