I'm new to FreeBSD, my previous -nix experience coming from OSX and Debian/Suse linux. I've been generally very happy with the performance and relative ease of setup on my 4.8 system. My biggest problem has been Java. I've done the diablo 1.3 package and java seemed to work (java -v), but when I install Tomcat it won't start. I've done the same install on mac and windows with no problem. The stack trace is completely alien to me and I can try to get it if it would help. I'm basically wondering if running Tomcat or any other java on this machine is realistic or not. Thanks, Heath
