It's true: Pro/Intralink requires JAVA. But what we are discussing on is the client side, so does't required Oracle installed on.... I suppose. Some infos about Pro/Intralink. Intralink is a PDM (Product Data Management) and works in boundle with Pro/Engineer (CAD 3D). At work, we are using both on Windows. There is a client and a server version. As I said before, the client version is my target. I'm attempting to investigate if is possible to use these software on Ubuntu to create a better CAD workstation. Pro/Engineer is natively compiled for Linux (I've got some problem during installation, but I'm confident). Intralink not. Thanx for all support. Let me know how I can give you all information needed, but start from hypotesis that i'm a newbie on linux's world and in programming in general.
