Re: Commercial Application Testing

[Tom Syroid <tom syroidmanor com>]

Good topic. I'll throw two more into the fray:

MySQL 4.0.14
DB2 V8.1

The latter is a Java issue with the installer, and knowing IBM like I do, 
something proprietary with their code and RHEL's libraries. On the other 
hand, it installs fine on 8, 9, and Severn.

I recognize the "java situation" with RHEL is not sorted out yet. I do, 
however, think it's an important one to resolve ASAP.

On a positive note, I'm very impressed with what I've seen of Taroon so 
far. Considering the number of new and updated packages, I've found it 
remarkably stable and well-mannered.

Best,
