    Hi Dhasan,

     

    No, until now only a windows Client can only be promted as GUP. it can be either a desktop O/S (XP,7,8,10) or a Server OS(2003,2008,2012). May be symantec might introduce the featue of promoting a Linux client as a GUP in the future releases.

    Ideally, the antivirus for Linux update manager from the console. The product SEP for Linux lacks improvements in the forms of installation and upgrade.

    You can configure the SEPM as a reverse proxy so it can provide content to Linux clients (Mac clients as well):
