Re: iSeries Nav?

I haven't tried to get iNav working with WINE or Crossover and instead rely
on VirtualBox to do that. I really wish IBM would come up with a *good*
browser based admin tool. I emphasized good because I just got a spankin
new POWER6 520 and "IBM Systems Director Navigator for i5/OS" is slooooooow.
I haven't even been able to see all of the features yet because I click a
link and wait for literally 1 minute and then go and do something else while
I wait. The kicker is that I go to WRKACTJOB and don't see the *ADMIN jobs
taking up that much CPU. So it is hanging somewhere in the application.
jeeeeeuuuunk I say! :-) If I were IBM I would be embarrassed by how poor
the performance is.

I saw Aaron Bartell's message about this new list over on WDSCI-L, and
one of the topics that he listed caught my eye.

My primary work PC runs WinXP, but my secondary machine is my home PC
running Linux. Right now, I use rdesktop to connect to my work PC to do
anything. The biggest reason I do that is because I consider iSeries Nav to
be a necessity. I tried running it under WINE but got nowhere.

Has anyone had any luck running iSeries Nav (or iNav if you prefer) on
Linux?
