My company has be very successfully been using the Blackdown JDK 1.1.6
releases on Intel Linux. We run the exact same Java code on Linux
(our primary development platform), FreeBSD, Solaris, Windows NT, and
Windows 95 systems. (Well, Windows 95 does have its problems...)
The Blackdown JDK is at the same "shipping" level as the Sun JDK>
(That is, JDK 1.1 / 1.1.6) The beta 1.2 (or early access) is not
yet available for Linux. (But then it is not ready for production
use yet either)
