Please read my email again. Nowhere did I say you had to use Solaris. It was simply an example of something you _could_ use. FWIW, simply looking up the latest OpenSolaris release page would have told you that you didn't have to pay for it. Another quick search would have also indicated that there are openjdk-6 packages for Debian/sparc if you wanted a Linux option. There are plenty of options here for you. Pick one and give it a try. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
