Actually I'm surprised that you haven't gotten more responses, as I'm quite certain that a number of the core developers work on linux on a regular basis.
FWIW, the memory leak mentioned in the other post is fixed for 2.4.5. Another thing to look at for running major load on linux boxen is the Next Generation POSIX Threading project at IBM: http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/pthreads/ Basically that patch gives linux an M-to-N threading model (like Solaris) such that many user threads can map to a few kernel threads. I've been meaning to check that out, but I really have to do a Big Upgrade on the linux distro on my main box first. -danch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I saw the last postings about minerva pools for linux, and to my > disappointment i didnt see > a plethora of replies that would follow any open source project. > I dont mean to start a holy war over OS's but i think that the same > intuitive biological > rules that govern free software (including linux, *BSD's to name few) would > apply > to Jboss as well, so that the intersection of the communities (linux,jboss > in this case) > would be fairly large. > > We are using Jboss 2.4.4 dev (linux), jboss 2.4.3 production (solaris). > > We know that solaris has a pretty solid threading implementation, but > unfortunately we must dump production solaris for linux due to the cost, > (and performance, just to say that a celeron can beat the hell out of a > sparc 80 solaris box for the one tenth of the price) . > > Windows on the other head seem to perform reasonably with java, > but at least for us the advantages stop just right there. > > And the page http://www.jboss.org/online-manual/HTML/ch11s02.html) > that still exists in the site, talks about kernel 2.2!!! > > I dont imply anything... but i am wondering. > Well we know > a) Java is write once/run everywhere > b) Your job is to create an excellent j2ee appserver, and not linux debugging, > BUT > we also know that a) is always to be taken a second thought, and > that systems dont have barriers, so it is rather likely that someone tests his >software on the most popular > platforms, and tries to make it run well. > > Uncle Sam on your advertisment talks about NOT losing money. > I am sure old Sam would go for linux/FreeBSD!! > > P.S. > Any one had good experience with native FreeBSD 4.5 java 1.3.1 and JBOSS 2.4.1???? >(i mean not the linux emulation port). > > Thanx and sorry for my english. > > Achilleus > > > _______________________________________________ > JBoss-user mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user > _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
