We've had a lot of posts on java-linux recently that are generic Java questions, that have nothing at all to do with Linux. I'm here to remind the list, once again, that this sort of question is *not appropriate*. Do not post questions here unless they are about the specifics of Java on Linux. Furthermore, I would encourage regular members not to answer these messages here either, so as not to encourage people to keep posting inappropriate questions. I don't mean to sound unkind, but this list has an important function: to discuss issues having to do with running Java on Linux. Off topic messages dilute the list and make it less useful for everyone. Thank you, Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] . . . . . . . . http://www.media.mit.edu/~nelson/
