[AG-TECH] Quick question on BridgeServer

[Thomas D. Uram]

Hi Benedikt:

The bridge server relies on various parts of the AG toolkit and, 
therefore, its dependencies, including globus, pyGlobus, etc.  You can't 
get by without installing the AG toolkit on the linux machine.

I'd be curious to hear about the problems you encountered with Mandrake 
(even though it's not supported).
