So far I have not installed any of them. One of my issues is getting splus (a proprietary version of R-a4) t run. In the past I have had trouble getting the splus gui to work (it requires java, probably something that looks like redhat linux, since it most likely runs on freebsd under linux emulation). So my questions are: 1. which jdk (blackdown, sun, etc...) would be closest to whatever redhat installs? 2. beyond linux emulation, what are the diffs in the native freebsd javas? Thanks -- Kirk R.
