B

Application porting

Appendix B.

When planning for a Linux client migration you may discover early on in the 

assessment process that you have custom developed applications that will not 

run natively on a Linux based client (any Microsoft Visual Basic application 

would fit into this category).

This appendix provides some information and links for learning more about the 

application porting process. This topic alone could easily fill an entire redbook. 

We introduce the topic here for the sake of completeness (many 

Windows to Linux client migration projects will have application porting 

considerations).
