I just gave up on solaris 2.6/Intel, its too damn slow, and i've been having problems with my window manager's stability that I am hoping to cure by moving to FreeBSD.

Hmm, is it even useful? I gave it a brief glance, it seems it can only invoke the toString() methods on a function, not very useful. Do you know of any good debuggers that I can use for Java under FreeBSD? Thanks for your help, I'll give the linux version a shot. Niall
