A not so quick note

Today, I finally gave the port of the Lotus Notes client for Linux a try. Don't. Waste. Your. Time. I should have believed the PDF they've put alongside the zip files: One way to read the system requirement would have been "if your system isn't mine, this ain't gonna work out." And so it did (or didn't). Installation aborts. Crashes. Unable to complete the configuration. And our Notes guru even sat beside me. Actually, I think this experience is the last proof (if I ever needed one) that Notes is such a bloated application that even such a large company is utterly doomed to fail to do it right. And did I mention that Notes on Linux is a Workplace Application, i.e. built atop of Eclipse? I guess that port is sponsored by Intel or at least the hardware department of IBM, huh?
