I also switched to Sun a good while back. Blackdown was not updated for a while and some sites were having "issues" with it. The only thing I recall not liking is the fetch restriction on it. You have to go to the Sun site and download the file and put it in distfiles manually. Other than that, it works fine. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)
