The server that those sites are currently on is a Sparc running Solaris for the time being. I told him of my intent to replace that server with a FreeBSD box and his developer is balking at the idea, to the point where I might lose the customer. I don't know from Java, but this person seems to think that FBSD is far behind Linux and the commercial OS's in this regard. I installed JDK 1.1.8 on my current FBSD 3.2-RELEASE box, and this new server's going to be running 4.0R when it ships. Any and all feedback or URLs of FreeBSD sites running Java server apps appreciated. TIA, James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.
