Note: I don't think this is officially supported, so YMMV.
I encountered a problem installing ALUI G6 on Fedora Core 5. Just for the record, it's not a problem with ALUI -- it's a problem with InstallAnywhere, the software that BEA uses to install ALUI.
Here are the errors I got:
[plumtree@bdg-chris]# ./PlumtreeFoundation_v6-0

I resolved these errors by doing the following:
[plumtree@bdg-chris]# cat PlumtreeFoundation_v6-0 | sed
"s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" >
PlumtreeFoundation_v6-0.new[plumtree@bdg-chris]# chmod a+x PlumtreeFoundation_v6-0.new
[plumtree@bdg-chris]# ./PlumtreeFoundation_v6-0.new
This may work to get ALUI installed on other unsupported flavors of *nix, although I've never tried it, so again, YMMV.

- once you got it installed how did it run on core 5?

- It ran pretty well aside from the occasional JVM segfault, which I could have probably fixed by upgrading to the latest 1.4.2 JVM and plugging that into Tomcat 5, rather than running the OOTB bundled Tomcat/JVM supplied by BEA.
Instead, I've switched to Ubuntu (with Oracle XE), which is a great platform because, for the most part, it just takes care of itself. It's like having RHEL with a lifetime subscription to RHN, but without actually paying for it! ;-)
