I was running 64-bit FreeBSD 7.0, but had to remove it to run Suse 11. 32-bit Fedora 9 and 64-bit Suse 11 ship with fully functional Java environments. If your primary goal is to use Java, I can recommend either of these platforms. I got a complex 3rd party Java project (Geometric Algebra graphics) installed and running with absolutely no problems on these platforms. (BTW, I had no prior experience worth mentioning with Java :-) ), _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
