This might not help since you're interested in JDK 1.4 but I've been using FreeBSD 4.x in production with the Diablo JDK 1.3.1 and Tomcat 4.1.x for over a year now with no trouble at all. This server is running numerous Jahia sites and a custom webapp with low-to medium traffic, serving about 200MB of data per day. Tomcat and its webapps are a bit sluggish to startup but this is most likely due to the server itself and not the OS or JDK. All of this is running on a virtual server from Verio. Performance is much better on our local development servers, but I have never done a head-to-head comparison against Linux. Hope this helps, Tom Duffey Homeboyz Interactive
