Okay, I give.  I went out and got the SAMS RedHat Linux 9 Unleashed
book, which includes a CD distro of RedHat 9.  It looks like I may need
to replace my CD-ROM drive, maybe cannibalize another machine.  I'll
figure that out Sunday (I'm taking my family out on a day trip
tomorrow).

Of course, I can't run WDSC, but that's IBM's fault, not Linux's.  I
will definitely try Eclipse, though.  So let's see how it goes.  It
won't be very fast, as I don't have any free time to speak of, but
you'll all hear about it as it happens <grin>.
