Can't tell you very much about RDz (nee WDz); some of our application
developers use it for CICS Web Services development activities. One
thing I _can_ tell you is to ensure that your laptop has L-O-T-S of RAM
(I'd suggest 2GiB minimum) and a F-A-S-T cpu, or be prepared to observe
the equivalent of an arthritic turtle slogging through cold molasses.
