AFAIK it still doesn't. The issue is lack of working NIO support, which freenet uses pretty heavily. Toad said a while ago that this was pretty much the only obstacle, so if it starts working in one Free JVM then the others should follow. > I'm having problems installing Kaffe so I don't > know.

Umm, and this matters to you why? Signalling the "parent" process in freenet.pid should affect all of them :^) How threading is handled is an interplay between the JVM and the host system, you can also influence it (mostly for backwards compatability when the default behaviour breaks) with the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable which you've probably noticed start-freenet.sh does for known problematic cases. I don't claim to really understand it either. Blackdown can do either "green threads" (userspace) or "native threads" (kernelspace but higher context switch cost / footprint) but this is arcane stuff which it seems you shouldn't mess with unless you know what you're doing, e.g running huge clustered simulations. The docs aren't up to date on it either.
