Yes, I have. Some of the tools did not run on the OSX's X Window, but
they worked fine on Linux's Xfree86. I removed it from the system (G4
PowerBook 1.67 GHz, then 512 MB, 80 GB) because setting needed for the
system made the system feel luggish, even when not running Oracle (I
have upgraded the memory to 1 GB so it might run better now). But for
hints: some of the tools do not run on the OS X X Window, so either
do not use them, or use Linux's XFree86 or try some other X Window for
Mac.
