Re: Good News (?) for Mac Users

Ubuntu is the closest version to the MAC in terms of OS, but that would
still require a second OS running on the MAC.

Weird - thanks Eric for clarifying.

Not that I have any intention of ever using these versions but .

RDi support SUSE, RedHat, and Ubuntu for the client in addition to
various Windows versions.

If you click on the system requirements tab from
http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/dev-ibm-i and select Client
it will list the operating systems (including various Linux). I'm not
sure why it is not showing Linux on the initial tab. I will look into

that.

Thanks,

Yes they can - but Red Hat and SUSE enterprise editions only.

However I?m not sure the current release does run on Linux - the only
version that this IBM web page
http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/dev-ibm-i shows for Linux
is version 8.5. The indication appears to be that 9.0 and 9.1 only run
on windows.

Maybe one of the IBMers on this list could comment on that.

Just heard that IBM have announced that staff now can choose a Mac

Can they already use Linux? Just curious as I almost exclusively use
Linux (Debian Jessie/Xfce) at home and run a couple of KVM/QEMU
virtual PC's to run programs that have no Linux alternative, or do
but not with the specific capabilities I require.

Hopefully that policy will apply in Canada too and perhaps increase
the

chances that we will finally get a native Mac implementation of RDi.
