A better choice of URL for the kwhite version is http://www.csi.uottawa.ca/~kwhite/javaport.html because it lists important license agreements (containing important access codes) and patches for this version. Also, be sure to follow the installation instructions carefully! I'm running 2.2-stable, and this version was bombing consistently for me until I followed the directions more carefully and installed it correctly. > - use the Linux port in emulation mode I was never able to get the "blackdown" Linux port to run Java Web Server reliably -- it would seem to come up, but then it would not reply to queries reliably, as if there were some sort of network I/O problem. Actually, it had precisely the same problem running under Linux. > - use Kaffe I haven't tried JWS under Kaffe yet; I'd be interested myself to hear of people running real-world biggish programs with kaffe -- it certainly seems to be darn fast.
