Hey that's great! So if IBM take over the development of Java and Unix and Linux maybe they can finally build an Information Server Installer that works.

THe bad news is that it could also mean getting a Java install next year that asks you 15 different questions, requires at least two unmentioned pre-requisites, and won't install cleanly unless you pay for an onsite tech...
