> Linux vs. NT --- I hope that the printed version gives more info ... > > http://www.internetworld.com/print/1998/11/23/webdev/19981123-java.html This article basically compares Linux:TowerJ vs. NT:M$-JIT. The Linux JDK wasn't even involved in this test. Note, this works ok for 'embedded' Java servers, but doesn't work well in a pure servlet environment. Instead of running a 'servlet', you run an executable program which happens to be a Java program. However, you lose much of the 'dynamic' features of the Java language using the TowerJ approach, which works well for large/static installations. If TowerJ did a FreeBSD port, I suspect we could beat the pants of everyone (including Linux), but getting $50K for a FreeBSD isn't promising. :( Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
