In my mind you need a big app server that doesn't necessarily run Windows.
Obviously RDi would have to get rid of it's Windows hooks first.

Not sure I follow you.  In order to run WDSC/RDi I still need that big 
Windows PC.  Serving the interface via Jetty takes even more PC. 
Theoretically, if I could get my network folks to poke a hole in the 
firewall, I could use my browser at home to work with my System i at 
work, but I'd still need the Windows PC at work, wouldn't I?

Regarding the web interface, it doesn't like RSE.  The editor pane shows 
the sequence numbers, so it's like it isn't using the RSE editor. Other 
plug-ins act funny too (EclipseWiki).
