NOOB Question on Satellite 6
Will Satellite 6 run on a RedHat 7 system as its OS. And as a NOOB where is the best place to start this process.
We bought 6 and a machine to run RH 7 and I was hoping to reduce the angle of attack from something less than 90 degrees on this project.

Hey Bob - Great question. The "getting started guide" describes the process using RHEL 6.5.
However you can find the "Satellite 6.0 Installer for RHEL 7" here:
https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/250/ver=6.0/rhel---7/6.0/x86_64/product-downloads
They just GA'd Satellite 6 last week. Be sure to give them feedback!
I've got Satellite 6 running on RHEL 7 while we investigate it and plot a transition course. I don't think the documentation was particularly clear on the support of RHEL 7. I think it says "RHEL 6.5 or later". Having followed the Foreman & Katello development over the past year, there wasn't clear support for RHEL 7 until very recently. Foreman has only just supported RHEL 7 and Katello is due to release RHEL 7 support any day now.
It works though - could possibly do with some clarification in the Docs.
Cheers
