Blackdown seems to be a bit more agile with respect to window manager
issues.
Blackdown supports many more platforms/ports than Sun does.
I don't know how Blackdown for linux/intel compares with Sun for linux/intel,
but I'd love to see a comparison, myself. I do a fair bit of JBuilder
support and I'd appreciate more definitive info regarding how various
versions of Blackdown compare with Sun's, and how the kernel/glib versions
affect things.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried. Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
