I love the freenet project. I don't like that for some reason it's done in java. I happily ran a node something like a year ago and it was great. At the time I was running it on my x86 FreeBSD machine. I later put in a sparcstation 5 as my firewall running NetBSD 1.5.... And could no longer run a freenet node.
I notice that the java interpreters all have proprietary licenses save kaffe, and kaffe is in sad shape. I have a hard time seeing how something like the freenet project can say with a straight face that it's done in java so that it's cross platform. java is horrible and I hate it very much. I'm not a developer. I'm sure I'm one of the less technical people on this list. Somehow I feel a lot more comfortable with something written in C and not building than I do not even having a java interpreter (or whatever it is) for my platform. I haven't seen a single sane bit of discussion regarding why it's done in java. Maybe I'll find a thread regarding that while I dig through archives some more but I just check the freenet site every couple of months hoping someone involved with the project woke up one day and had the realization that java is NOT cross platform. I miss running a freenet node. Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo!
