I use Tomcat quite a bit on Debian Testing, and would love to see some comprehensive benchmarks. It would be somewhat ironic if Suns Java VM were demonstrably quicker on Windows that Linux (and Solaris?). I'm saying this as I suspect Java's purpose is/was to get developers writing platform agnostic software, allowing other OS's to enter the market. If there's a noticable qualitative difference favoring the monopolist though... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
