So I am wondering if anyone out there : is holding back info on the current java port for FreeBSD :) I got into an interesting conversation with a Sun engineer over breakfast the other day. He was saying that Java used its own threading system, and that was supposed to make it easier to port and that you don't need an MT safe anything to get it up and running. I don't know if that is true or not, but it is what he told me when I commented on JAVA's portibility problems. Guess it is time to download the source and try myself.... Warner
