XFree86/Gnome/Enlightenment runs the same way for me [crashes] so I don't do
X on Redhat 6.0 as a result -- for servers, unless I want utilities. I can
reliably run 1.7 Blackdown JDK on Redhat with latest JDBC/ODBC to SQL or
Oracle dbs.
Caldera has the best and most stable X desktop if that's what you want, good
support but lousy server platform because of the fact that its nearly
impossible to find additional libraries that will compile with their LUNIX
setup.
I tried to get JDKs working on Caldera 1.2?, but it was Clib2.1 or something
too old to do reliably when I tried six months ago.
FreeBSD is setup as the most secure LUNIX if you want to deploy to WWW out of
the box.
