Thanks guys, but just to note, we know that in both these cases neither RHEL or Fedoras default GNU GCJ Java implementation or distribution channels were used to maintain the Java "Stack". So in both cases the question of will it run on RHEL using the supported packages provided by Redhat isn't answered. One of main reasons I jumped on-board with Alex's push to use Gentoo for [EMAIL PROTECTED] is that, in production, I'd much rather have a tried, tested, well integrated "JAT" (Java Apache Tomcat) stack distributed by the OS Vendor with their added security updates/fixes. Good point by Alex on the INode subject. Also like Richards comment about Solaris 10. The Solaris 10 out-of- the-box Java/Apache/Tomcat/Postgres thing does seem worth a look. http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/what_you_get.jsp -Mark > Message: 1 > Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2007 17:04:02 +1300 > From: Richard Mahoney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] OS for DSpace > To: Steve Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: DSpace Tech <[email protected]> > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 > > Hi Steve, > > On Thu, 2007-02-08 at 13:11, Steve Thomas wrote: > >> we?ve been funded for new hardware for our Digital Library (yay!) and >> I?m now being asked what Operating system is required.

The Ubuntu package manager provides Sun Java, Tomcat, Apache, and updates. Ubuntu 6.04 provides 'Long Term Support', which means the maintainers have pledged to provide security updates for 5 years. I suspect Ubuntu has saved me a great deal of time versus using Gentoo.
