And the softupdate vs reiser was discussed ad nauseum all over the Universe. There are few things that I like in my Debian more, but for a production env server - it's a *BSD or a Solaris here. I'd recommend a Linux or Solaris for java developer, there is a tool for everybody around. Anybody knows why they waste so much resources on reiser when there are much better tools from SGI and IBM? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
