They're getting better....seems ever since they purchased Cobalt it's been
more and more in their best interest to remain linux friendly. What has
yet to be seen is now are they going to discontinue ix86 or Sparc support
and try to drive customers toward one or the other?

Don't bother with the ix86 version....I installed it on a spare disk and
it's just as annoying as Solaris for Sparc, just as slow compared to linux
and has exactly the same bugs (right down to the java registration screen
hanging the first time you login ;) Good for debugging tho...pc's being a
dime a dozen and Sparcs being...well...in a limited obtainability status
due to price.

Four? What's on the 4th cd? I only saw three on their download 2 weeks
