I'm not beholden to RPMS or binary packages.. but I see this as a very easy
way to manage a multiple server environment, because I know that I'm dealing
with apples and apples - as well as ease of administration.
My question about Debian was related to the fact that RH 7.0 for instance
did not even run Forte for Java or the JDK without an upgrade of glibc and
system support for theading under Java was and still is creating zombie
processes and chewing more memory than is believeable. I also get not AA
support under Gnome.. which sucks.
The upshot is that I was asking what other who use Java on Linux were using
and their experiences.. in terms of IDEs, VMs, distros and performance.

This statement kinda makes me laugh. No offense or anything, but there
is
a world beyond RPMS.... If you do like binary packages then debian is
probably even more for you ;)

We develop servlets at work exclusively on big expensive servers running
linux. We also develop on normal machines running linux as well, but the
big servers compile stuff oh so much faster ;)
