My impression, judging from their silence and the details (or lack thereof) in the press release is that they haven't advanced much beyond where the FreeBSD-java porting team is today. Naturally, I'm happy that any vendor supports Java on *BSD, and as you point out their port *may* be totally different, but that would seem to defy common sense. Why didn't they just call it patchset 9 for consistency? ;) John K.J.Koster wrote: > > The BSDi press release is (purposely?) vague.
