I couldn't think of the best place to ask this, and I am running STABLE on all production machines, so... We have a lot of proprietary code written in Java running on Wintel boxes. There's been talk of migrating to Linux, and our initial tests show performance equal to NT 4.0 under the JDK/JVM's we've tested. Is there anyone out there running a lot of mission-critical (read: updating Oracle queues responsible for 911 dispatching) Java code under FreeBSD? If so, I'd appreciate JDK/JVM reccomendations, OS tuning tips (or relevant FAQs), etc. If not... I guess I'll resign myself to letting penguins slowly infiltrate my network (ack!). Note: I've seen http://www.freebsd.org/java/. I'm asking for working knowledge, known bugs, stability, etc... and not just if a working JDK exists. Thanks, -Mike -- "IP assumes non-hostile, non-lazy, and non-clueless nodes." --Mark Mentovai To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
