Having just moved to the US, I have ordered my PC from a box builder - it will come with Red Hat 6 preloaded :-) I would like to get into playing with Java servlets interfacing to an RDB on this box. My assumptions from lurking for the last week (please feel free to stomp on them) are.... 1. "Blackdown" is/produces a port of the JDK for Linux, and this is the best way to do Java stuff under Linux 2. The Blackdown stuff works very well with Red Hat 5.2 3. It doesn't run in the Red Hat 6.0 environment, due to not working with glibc 2.1 4. Apache's Java module is a good way to run servlets 5. MySQL is a suitable DB to use with JDBC and the JDK What is the best way to make the Java stuff work on this machine - should I do a full downgrade to RH 5.2 when the machine arrives, or can I get away with e.g. running the Java VM against glibc 2.0 with the 2.2 kernel? I'm not a particular Red Hat bigot, I'm just more comfy and up to date with their distribution than with SuSE, Slackware or Debian, and the machine builder happens to supply Red Hat 6 by default. Apologies for the badly formatted e-mail, I'm using my employer's broken mail system (Lotus Notes on the evil empire's OS) Any advice and opinions welcome Many thanks Dave ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
