Yeah, sure. I run a dev version of Tomcat with test versions of a couple of apps on a Pentium I (yes, a P1) with 64 Mb of RAM under RedHat 7.x using the IBM 1.3 JDK. It's got no load (except me) but it stays up and stable for weeks at a time. It's also got an ever-growing mysql database that sucks in some heavy-duty mailing traffic that's run for over 6 months now without any intervention on may part except for truncating some overgrown log files (one of the apps accesses this database). At my previous workplace we used to use a linux box (a PIII/650 with 512Mb RAM) as a sometimes development platform (otherwise VisualAge on Windows). Using Redhat 6.x, IBM 1.3 JDK, and JEDIT as the editor, also ANT for builds. The application was an automated FTP transfer application with XML configuration for a client and they are quite happily running this on a series of Linux boxes around the world similarly configured. I found the IBM 1.3 JDK under Linux to be excellent. I use it in preference to the SUN JDK on any platform wherever available and/or possible. regs scot. ___________________________________________ Scot Mcphee - Snr Developer - (mobile) +61-412-957414 ___________________________________________ TigerEx - http://www.tigerex.net - (bus) +61-2-82593613 ___________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek PC Mods, Computing goodies, cases & more http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
