Hi,

Out of of the perspective of an add-on / app developer, we need to test the software we are developing. Now the question came up which *nix we should use for testing. Are there any statistics which *nix are mostly used by Splunk customers?

Thx & BR
Peter

In my experience, it is Redhat, because you can get paid support and most of my customers are Enterprise. For the same reason, we used to see a good bit of Solaris, but less and less of this.
