Sorry for the late reply, I just returned from a 6 week vacation.

We do not, at this point in time, plan to make FailSafe available for SLES8,
unless we have a customer project.

In theory, it should work, with the caveat that the manager frontend is
probably going to be a problem. The C++ needs fixing, and I seem to remember
that initial testing suggested that the Java client part was also a problem. I
also recall some issues with the threading model used in the newer glibc.

Please report your findings!


Sincerely,
