IBM to deploy LinuxPPC on RS6000 servers...

1999-02-08 Thread Jerry McBride
Wow! Have a gander at http://www.techweb.com/se/directlink.cgi?CRN19990208S0005 Basically, IBM has been very impressed with the way that Linux has kicked NT butt all-over the server market and is planing to bundle LinuxPPC on their RS6000 servers! It looks as though Big Blue is taking advantag

A bit more info on thread limits.. Linux 2.0 defines NR_TASKS in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/tasks.h. The default is 512, but then there's MAX_TASKS_PER_USER which is defined as NR_TASKS/2. So if I understand right, that means that a Java process using native threads is limited to 256 threads in

Your problem is related to the version of glibc you are using. The JDK 1.1.7 uses an internal symbol, _dl_symbol_value, which was present in glibc 2.0 but is no longer in glibc 2.1, thus the undefined symbol error. I believe JDK 1.1.6 does not use this symbol and should be fine, although I have no
