In Fedora 7 (eagerly anticipating 64-bit J). I'm not as concerned as Joey about /bin/sh install (it is still used for some Linux software, including Sun Java), although an rpm file is preferable. The install did require chmod +x, but that was it, and it was very fast. Nice to not have to copy libraries. In particular, it can now be installed by a non privileged user. Jwd and jconsole work straight out the box. The package installer worked fine. OpenGL does not work, but I could never get it to work in J601, either. I am glad to see the o. changes. The previous versions were annoying and confusing, especially when using plot. I have to try out M. , but I hope this will be a considerable improvement.
