Tech Requirements for Porting to SLES 11

[jimmyho]

Looking for some help writing some technical requirements document for some vendors to port some applications from Windows 2000 to SLES 11. These are either stand-alone Java applications (i.e. no app server) or C/C++ applications.

(I'm a newbie to Linux in general, though I've used UNIX in school in the 90's and currently program on Windows in Java.)

If anyone has any sample docs or big pitfalls or lessons learned to mention, it would be greatly appreciated. I think I can take care of the basics, like, don't use too much memory, or don't violate company IT Security policy, and stuff like that. Looking for things that I need to let my vendors know up front so something doesn't bite us in the butt later in the process.
