Lorin,
I'm starting to look into EJBs myself (and was sorta wanting to ask a
similar question). To answer to the best of my limited knowledge, EJBs
run in an EJB container.. it has nothing to do with the OS. I realize
you're asking for an EJB container that works under Linux. Weblogic 4.5.1
is a commercial and officially supported product. As for free
(speech) implementations, I haven't researched much but I haven't seen
any. IBM offers WebSphere App Server as a free (non-crippled) eval
download. I had no luck getting it working under SuSE 6.3 because v. 2.03
is hooked to an older build of Apache. Their docs do explicitly say which
Linux distros (and versions) will work.. Also, WAS 2.03 is not EJB 1.1
compliant (v. 3 will ship within months).
Finally, I tried to install Sun's J2EE reference implemenation (for
Solaris) on Linux. The .sh installer didn't even pass the checksum of the
downloaded file (I tried a couple times). I don't know why this is the
case, but I do recall that J2EE right now is not "Pure Java" so the
likelihood of it running smoothly on Linux right now are slim.
Maybe one of the blackdown JDK developers can comment more precisely.
