}> I guess what I'm saying is that this FreeBSD JDK port --- Can we not

}> It totally rocks. And it doesn't suck either."
}
}I'd really like to see our particular port stand out as well.  It'd be a
}great way to distinguish FreeBSD as a Java contender.
}
}Could we do something with native threads, for example?  Or modify the
}kernel to have an execution model for .class files?
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And there would be one hardcoded vm?
