Recommendations for modern, well-supported Linux flavor for filePro?

[Ross Salas]

Thanks for the feedback! Has anyone tried running filePro on AlmaLinux 10
yet? I'm planning a server upgrade and want to maximize the timeline for OS
updates and security patches.

It looks like my filePro binaries are native 64-bit:
[ross at x fp_v5.8.03.24D6]$ file runmenu
runmenu: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically
linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.18,
BuildID[sha1]=564bb2f7b3fc0d69f05e2db6fbb53ca03bb9e33a, stripped
