"I mean it is best from the standpoint of a local user seeking a simple desktop OS interface" I always assumed that the desktop OS interface was things like KDE and GNOME. However, this message is about your questions of IBM supporting Corel.

The initial versions of the IBM DB2 developers tools and DBI only ran on RedHat. VisualAge is better. This is from the IBM webpage for the newest version of VisualAge. "This edition of VisualAge for Java, has the following hardware and software prerequisites:
* Linux - RedHat 6.0, Caldera 2.2, SuSE 6.1 (glibc 2.1 and kernel 2.2.x)" The URL is www7.software.ibm.com

I tried installing on Corel Linux, and it crashed. Although there are many good tools that work on most if not all Linux's, there is obviously special coding needed for parts of different ports. RedHat is always supported near the top of the heap. If Corel gains market share, it may be there as well one day.
