Cheers!

Zimbra will work on SuSE 10 but there is no binary build available for SLES 10 yet, the only reason there isn't a SLES 10 version is that it's too new. I'm sure a build will be available for SLES 10 when the dust has settled from the GA release of Version 4 and Zimbra have some time.

Zimbra should work on SLES 10 but it's not guaranteed as it's still an unsupported platform.

Understood.

I upgraded it from 3.1.something

The only problem I had was with the sudoers file which caused LDAP to fail to start

I did chmod 640, reinstalled and got the same error

so I just ran

while true
do
chmod 640 /etc/sudoers
done

in a console session and it went like a charm.

Do you mean the download in the Zimbra website called 'SUSE 10 (.tgz)' is not meant for Novell Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10? What is that for, then? openSUSE? Thanks!

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. The version for SuSE Enterprise Server is called ....SuSEES9... and the openSuSE version is called .....SuSE10...

There is a 'however' and it's this, I would advise you not to install the SuSE 10 version as support for that will be dropped when a version for SuSE ES 10 becomes available - there will be no more NE versions available for openSuSE. Use a supported operating systems such as RHEL or SuSE ES or MAC OS X. For testing you could, at a pinch, use CentOS.
