 Officially supported in Red Hat and SuSE Linux distros.  I have managed to
install it under 64-bit Fedora 9, 64 & 32-bit Debian and Ubuntu 8.04, and 32
& 64-bit CentOS5.1 but the quality of the fonts vary under unsupported
GNU/Linux distributions.

Formal Ubuntu support is coming from IBM/Lotus in the near future --with a
beta in August 2008.  If you have an unsupported GNU/Linux distribution, you
may want to review a few of my relevant web log how-to entries at Metztli
IT's Web Log (< http://www.metztli-it.com/blog >)
