[pca] Linux box as local patch server?

[Lee Roth]

Sadly, our shop has begun a migration away from Sun iron/Solaris to
commodity iron/VMware/Red Hat Linux. <sniff>

I've been asked to plan conversion of as many of the Solaris boxes as
possible to Linux.

Currently, my PCA setup is a "local patch server" on my in-house network
that all of the individual Solaris boxes point to for patching, and the
local patch server is then the sole box that pulls patchdiag.xref and
patches from Oracle.

Question: Can anyone think of a reason that the PCA local patch server
could NOT reside on a Linux server?

Thanks!
