I remember reading it (didn't mention which distros though I think) at an interview of the so-called "father of Java" (who was fanatically against Java getting opensourced before, but now tries to explain why they opensourced it [I'm in favor of the opensourcing of it btw, since I'll be able to port stuff of Java2 class libraries to .NET/J# when they finish the opensourcing process]) ---------------- George Birbilis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Computer & Informatics Engineer Microsoft MVP J# for 2004-2006 Borland "Spirit of Delphi" 3D, QuickTime, QTVR, Java, Delphi, ActiveX, .NET components, Robotics http://www.kagi.com/birbilis http://birbilis.spaces.live.com _____ avast!
