9 Click Next to display the default system requirements for Generic GNOME Policy page.
10 Specify the minimum system requirements for Generic GNOME policy settings to be effective.
The value you specify in the Apply policy on devices with distribution field indicates the
distribution and minimum version that is required for the policy settings to be effective. The
policy is applied if the device has the same version or a later version of the distribution.
If you chose the Import from a device option in Step 6 on page 147, the default value is the
operating system of a device from which you have imported GConf settings. If you have not
included this setting in the policy, and if the operating system of a managed device (where the
policy is to be applied) is different than the operating system of the device from which the
settings have been imported, a warning message is generated. However, the policy settings are
enforced.
If you chose the Define a setting on your own option in Step 6 on page 147, and you want to
include the default system requirement in the policy, you must specify the distribution and
version of the operating system. If you do not include this setting in the policy, the system does
not check for minimum operating system requirements and immediately enforces the policy.
Refer to the contents of the /etc/SuSE-release or /etc/redhat-release file to
obtain the correct string for your platform.
