I can now get one and run my two favourite OSes, Linux and FreeBSD. Alsohaving native java that does not need Linuc compatibility is really great. I have just tried the 6.1 RC and its really good.

You mean you care about the native java because of a browser plugin? Actual java applets on the web are so rare that I'd never go to all the trouble of getting linux compatibility set up just for that. I'd probably not do it for flash either and just save myself the trouble of blocking all those ads :p

I'm not a freebsd user myself but I will be giving it a whirl on one of my workstations this summer because I am a java developer and I want to fool around with it for real java applications Sun, 16 Apr 2006 03:00:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (kamper) Comments
