The beta Sun JDK 1.3 for Linux does have *client* HotSpot, which is a
different kind of beast than *server* HotSpot. Server HotSpot, according
to our local JDK guru, not only does the generic optimizations allowed
for the one-size-fits-all approach to bytecode execution, but also does
some very nice tricks regarding to threads, huge data structures and
networking -- obviously aiming for server-side.

I cannot offer a URL on that because as I said that was word-of-mouth
from a friend. However, 'java -version' on Sun JDK 1.3 for Linux does
produce the following:

java version "1.3.0beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0beta-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0beta-b04, mixed mode)
