FreeBSD 6.0 + JDK = production ready?
Hello, I have been testing release 6 and IMHO, it is definitely one of the best releases ever! Congratulations to the FreeBSD team! Now, I have a question. I'd like to provide support for an in-house web application which was written using server side Java technologies (servlets + JSP.) Currently, the application authors have tested it and support it against both the latest JDK 1.4 and the new JDK 5.0 on Linux and Windows. Under FreeBSD, which JDK would be the most production ready, JDK 1.4 or JDK 5?

Re: FYI: Time zone information update for Cuba
Hello, Kris Kennaway wrote: the attached diff updates /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/northamerica for this year's unique time handling in Cuba. Wasn't an update already committed to -current? Well, AFAICT, there was a recent commit for Brazil and Argentina data. In any case I think that it was impossible for the tzdata maintainer to update since changes in Cuba were just announced. I'm not sure, but that information should be in the relevant parts of the source tree that you're already looking at. Yup, it was/is right there! Kris Thanks a lot, -- Carlos A.

Re: Linux program and serial port (5.2.1)

(FYI, the device it should open is a random number generator.) This is a complete guess, but I'm curious whether it would work: You can make links in the /dev directory to existing devices by using entries in /etc/devfs.conf, so in this case you could add a line like: linkcuaa1 ttyS1 This works fine with FreeBSD native applications, so I use links like this for my old serial port palm base, and for a cdrom link. Whether it would work with Linux compatibility stuff, I don't know. But, as I said, I'd be interested to find out. Perfect, that worked out OK. However, I'm getting this every second in the system log: kernel: sio1: 960 more tty-level buffer overflows (total 126252) Have any idea about this?

Re: Machine locks in Probing devices... (4.9-RELEASE)
Hi, Is there a way for me to see what's locking up the probing? Looking at what's printed just before the lockup would help. Posting it here might help even more. OK.

Machine locks in Probing devices... (4.9-RELEASE)
Hello, I'm installing 4.9-RELEASE into a (marginally) older Compaq computer (Presario 7000 series, Pentium III 1GHz). Well, booting off the CD doesn't work (a 4.8-RELEASE disc does); so I had to go with the floppy method. Way after the MFS is loaded, this machine seems to lock up in the Probing devices phase. How much time does that take? Is there a way for me to see what's locking up the probing?

Re: Mailing binary files
