Bear in mind however that some other "canon" pieces of advice in start-freenet.sh, such as "don't add the -server JVM flag because it breaks things", are contradicted by the experiences of other users (myself included in that case.) There is a certain amount of trial and error involved in getting freenet configured optimally :) I *think* that the NPTL avoidance is there due to the really buggy implementation in RH 9 / FC 1. (http://linux-sxs.org/programming/ibm-java.html#APPENDIX_A). If you are using a newer one e.g. Enterprise WS 4 then I would be suprised if it's still broken. I also found this : http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=23464 which says that "true" threads as opposed to a bunch of IPC processes didn't exist till 2.6, and apparently this affects how the ps output looks, but it isn't clear whether 2.6 "fixes" it or not. All I can say is that my (dead) Debian box was 2.4.x and freenet showed as loads of pids on there.
