I have the Q2 2003 version. I installed all of it's software on a sample 
workstation, and it all installed fine. I tested most of the 
applications, some of them I didn't know how to use, but mostly I was 
able to move my way around the CDs and I actualy did some sample tests 
on most of the software, thanks to wonderful guides on developerWorks.

It should be noted that all these applications are native ports, non of 
them use Wine or any other emulation layer. They are mostly GTK 
programs, some wxWindows, some Java, and that's all I could find.

So, do we like IBM today? or hate them?
