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.
