The 1.1.7v1a JDK runs great on my AMD DX4-100 w/32Mb RAM.

Since one can get something roughly 20x as fast as my machine for $500
these days, I'm not sure I understand why agonizing over the JDK's
performance on a 486/33 is worthwhile.

Linux itself, of course, will run great even on a 386/25 with 8Mb (I did
this for a long time). 

But the JDK, particularly JDK 1.2 (a/k/a Java2), has a bit more bulk to it.

JDK 1.2 for Linux arrives tomorrow (Thurs.), apparently.  I can assure you
it won't run well on a 486/33 -- but for a few bucks worth of hardware,
you'll have a great JDK on a great OS.
