Quick Poll: Debian Linux?

[jeffrey-gallagher]

Hey guys,

How many of you currently use Debian? Would use Debian if VTune supported it? Would you use VTune if it supported Debian?

All thoughts welcomed.

cheers

Hi,
I am an Kubuntu user, and would love to have a supported Vtune on my system.

Kind regards,

We have several clusters that run debian as well as 7 floors of worstations. I would really like to be able to use vtune on them. Especially as I always get asked to run it to give the compiler group information when I submit FORTRAN and C trouble tickets. In fact, I still have an open ticket on the Beta compiler just because I can't run vtune for them.

Chalk up another vote for vtune on ubuntu. We've been slowly switching all our systems from FC to Ubuntu. Right now we are considering using vtune for some stuff and I have to get some extra hardware to install FC5 on it to give it a try. An ubuntu version would be much appreciated.

hey there,
since privately i mostly use debian (etch) and also on my laptop which i often use at work, i would be very glad to see VTune support for Debian.
We are running a visualisation cluster consisting of Slackware machines. After some struggle i gave up on trying to get it working, and decided to go and try the RDC way using vtserver. Unfortunately with the VTune installer i don't even get as far as selecting the RDC component only, because the script checks for chkconfig before that.
Is there a separate installer or script for non-Redhat systems for just the remote component? Or how am i supposed to get the data collection service running on that slack machine?

thanks for any help,
Patric

The Intel MID PDK is Ubuntu-based. Obviously, we would only run the collector on the MID, but the the main dev machine is Ubuntu and we want to run VTune from that system. Ubuntu support is key.

I am stuck on slackware as well and the ytune installer does not work even with some hacking of the install script. It would be nice to have something that worked on any distribution.

Anyone has a solution for that one?

FYI: VTune analyzer for Linux 9.0 Update 7 added support for Ubuntu* 7.10 and Debian* 4. Download the update from the registration center, if you have active support services, or register for an eval, if you would like to try it out.
