Ubuntu Symantec compatibility

Question

A software vendor has told me that Ubuntu Server 12.04 is not compatible with Symantec's Endpoint Protection Version 12 Anti-Virus software. Was I told correctly?

Answer 1

Based on this article: https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.TECH101598.html

They support Ubuntu 12.04

Also here:

http://www.symantec.com/endpoint-protection/system-requirements/ ...they mention symantec endpoint protection 12.1.6, and Ubuntu is listed in supported OS (but version is not specified)

@mark kirby: There is even a tutorial on their website, says it works for Ubuntu

Also as @JoKeR pointed out, there is site with supported kernels:
