I agree with you, common politeness should be reinstantiated on the
Net. When I started programming PCs I remember being helped from
professioanal programmers and journaists on line, esplaining, with a
lot of patience how to use common programming techniques. That
experienced burned a permanent impression in my mind and today, after
15 years or so, I still try to return the favor because I know how
much it's important to have some help when you most need it.
Sun is the real problem here, I thank the people at blackdown for
their effort, we all know that porting java to Linux is not their main
job. Sun should pour more resources in this project. It's a shame that
we don't have a Linux JDK after months of the release of Java 2. What
is Sun thinking ? This is the best chance they had since Java was
released. They should have more people dedicated to this task. Let
them know how lousy is this situation, let's send them few undreds of
email complaining. After all they announced Java 2 for Linux at the
beginning of November, this is ridicoulous, how we are supposed to do
our job if we are half year behind ?
