Those interested might take a look at my article on java under linux at: http://www.wandering-man.com/Java/August/Java-Linux/javalinux.html It's a bit spare in spots, since it's essentially an expansion of a presentation I made to the Atlanta Java Users Group (where I did a fair amount of extemporaneous hand-waving and live demo using my home system). Focus is on Linux, for those familiar with Java. The meeting went well; out of an audience of 30+ I've already (3 weeks) gotten three emails from folks who have already installed a version of linux and one from someone who says they will soon. Any feedback is much appreciated; I haven't decided the final fate of this thing but I need to rewrite it from the other angle to present Java for Linux enthusiasts. -- Paul Reavis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Design Lead Partner Software, Inc. http://www.partnersoft.com
