While the actual code (a mix of C, Perl, and PHP) don't care what
distribution it is, all of the installation scripts, documentation, cron
jobs, etc. are tailored for RHEL/CentOS, and it would be very difficult
to get them properly ported over.  We may expand the distro support in
the future, but for the time being it is limited to those.

That said, you can still use XI in a SLES shop.  You would need one
system (or virtual machine) running XI on a CentOS base, but it could
then monitor your SLES systems as targets.  The documentation for the
Agent piece currently covers RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, Ubuntu, and Debian,
but that would be quite a bit easier to adapt to SLES than XI itself.
