    Not me.  It is *highly* wedded to RedHat's layout, and to the
output of RedHat commands.  It won't even run under Slackware!

    Furthermore , there's a binary called "realpath" that will
dump core if you get the wrapper script jimmied to DTRT.

    It is far, *FAR* easier to get IBM JDK/JRE 1.3 for Linux to work,
and that version is faster, too.
