I especially like the version you can install on a local PC or iSeries host
and then go download the updates so it's just like the online version.

Much, much, MUCH faster and your PDFs (disc 2) are stored on a server in
your local network or your PC, wherever you choose to install, which makes
downloading a lot faster.

With a slow network connection, the online version does leave some to be
desired, but it's not IBM's fault.  Just install the local edition and have
the server go update itself over a weekend.

Guys,

Am I the only one that doesn't have a problem with Infocenter? 

I have bookmarked the main page for the release we are on, V5R1, and rather
than searching infocenter, download the relevant manuals as PDF's to my PC.
I only search the infocenter as a last resort. Don't know what all the fuss
is about. 

Cheers
Colin.W

Amen, brother, to the rant. Infocenter is extremely awkward and difficult.
Nothing intuitive or straight forward about it.
 
pdf is nice if you have broadband, but otherwise very painful. I'd think
that the page that asks me what continent I live on and what version I want
could also ask me if I prefer pdf or html. 
 
why do they care what continent I am on? No one else asks.

<rant>
InfoCenter is the worst designed, least useful, most
akward 'resource' on the internet.
 
Why don't the people in charge of it just
..pdf the manuals and buy the google
search engine to run on their site?
 
The whole thing could be run by an intern
in her spare time and I could actually find
something!
