The reason for that is most Linux distros can run any of the commonly available JDKs, so it becomes more a matter of which thread libraries your distro is currently using, and how good their general support is. As a pratical matter, Java and Linux have been a solid combination for a *long* time. In a past life, I managed a small Internet webapp (Linux + Apache + JServ at the time) that went over 14 months without having to be rebooted -- and then it was only because we were moving to a different ISP. > TIA > Stuart > Craig McClanahan
