ZD&T installed fine on Ubuntu 18.04 for me. The biggest problem was IBM Passport advantage and trying to find the software. For example IBM Z Development and Test Environment Personal Edition 13.1 Installation Multilingual eAssembly (G00DDDE) <https://www-112.ibm.com/software/howtobuy/passportadvantage/paocustomer/sdma/SDMA?P0=DOWNLOAD_SEARCH_BY_PART_NO&FIELD_SEARCH_TYPE=2&searchVal=G00DDDE> says "Red Hat Entrprs Linx RHEL Base Srvr" and not Ubuntu. Passport advantage website is poor - eg if you want to change your selection there is no "Back" button on the page, so you have to start "from the top" again. I despair trying to use it, and waste so much time. Colin
