I have always viewed this list as a support for the Blackdown JVM in general,
not just it's installation. Further, I have been subsribed to this list
for about 2 years, and have not noticed much change in the general content.
Often a seemingly innocous problem will be due to a linux centric(examples:
port numbers below 1024, green or native threads, etc).
However, admittedly, some people would rather keep the traffic down to new
linux users learning howto untar files or asking where to get the latest
version of glibc.
My proposed solution to realize that java and linux have grown and simply
petition Blackdown to add an additional mailing list. Then we can have
one for installation problems and one for Java code problems.
In the mean time I would encourage you to post.

I was surprised to see in the list below a thread that I started
(UnknownHostException).
I apologize for whatever inconvenience my posts may have caused java-linux
subscribers.
Please know that I posted my question in good faith and only after doing
my homework,
but I may have misunderstood the purpose of this mailing list.
Having said that, I would like to risk a last off-topic question. Does anyone
know of
any other mailing list where questions regarding Java exceptions that appear
in Linux
but not in Windows are relevant? My future questions will probably be of
that sort.
I regularly visit JDC, jGuru, and LinuxNewbie.org, but this is the only
Java-on-Linux
mailing list that I have found. Newsgroups and chat rooms are not available
to me.
Thank you.
