Hi, I have had a lot of experience with Jumpstart and I have a good contact on it, the author of the JASS system, that I am sure I could talk into helping us out. This would actually be great, Linux, Windows and Solaris support in one system that we can integrate... ah the ever elusive dream... Let me know who in the community is interested and I will help generate the connections and support from the Sun JASS community.
