where can I view OS support for cadence tools?

I have a few tools and I am recently trying to upgrade the server and finding information on what RHEL version to install.

From this page(http://www.cadence.com/rl/Resources/release_info/Supported_Platforms_Matrix.pdf)

I have figured out that virtuoso schematic editor version and its compatible RHEL versions can be checked out under the 'IC xxx' entry in the webpage.

However, I cannot figure out how to check RHEL compatibility of other tools such as Virtuoso Spectre Circuit Simulator, Virtuoso Analog Design Environment, Virtuoso layout suite L and a few others. These tools do not seem to be specified in the webpage linked above. 

Are these 'smaller' tools all included in a bigger category of 'IC xxx' entry in the webpage?

Or do I have to ask technical support for this information?

    We define the platform for each release stream of Cadence tools. Virtuoso Spectre Circuit Simulator is part of the MMSIM release stream, so you'd need to look under MMSIM releases, and Virtuoso ADE and Virtuoso Layout Suite are part of the IC stream. We do not list the tools with finer granularity than that (there's no need, since all tools under the same release stream have the same platform support). You can always use "which virtuoso" or "which spectre" to see where the tool is coming from (assuming you've given the installation directory a vaguely reasonable name...)
