It ought to work with any modern Linux/Unix distribution.   Speaking for
Red Hat, we do the bulk of our development on Fedora and RHEL, but we've
tried it out on other distributions.  I've seen Dogtail working fine on
Ubuntu, FWIW.

The applications under test need to be coded with a toolkit that
interfaces with ATK: GTK2 (hence GNOME), Mozilla (hence Firefox), and
recent versions of OpenOffice do this.

What problems did you run into?
