Running NX 8 on RedHat 5 (RHEL 5)?

[Hamburglar53]

The vast majority of our users are on Windows and we recently upgraded to NX 8. Per the NX 8 release notes for linux it requires RedHat Enterprise Linux 6. Unfortunately, our Linux cluster is running RHEL 5.9 and the powers that be have no plans of upgrading it anytime soon since RHEL 5 is supported through 2017. Does anyone know if it's possible to get NX8 running on RHEL 5.x?

Have you called GTAC and checked with them? Even if we're not officially supporting that version they might still have some information about whether anyone has had any success doing so.
