I hadn't actually tried the IBM JVM for PPC - the only link I'd seen for it pointed to some SuSE site. I am, however, running 2.4.17-benh0 on this iBook, so I guess if you experience is correct, it wouldn't work on here anyhow. Also, did it come with an OJI Java plugin for use with Mozilla? (I'd bet not.) > Is the blackdown release fast enough for you, or is there something I'm > missing? Well, I don't run too much Java stuff, so it's been sort of a non-issue. I'm sure a JIT for the PPC would speed things up a lot, but the lack of it hasn't been a real issue for me, for the most part. -- Derrik Pates | Sysadmin, Douglas School | #linuxOS on EFnet dpates@dsdk12.net | District (dsdk12.net) | #linuxOS on OPN ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
