Just to clarify one step further, while Sun _does_ release JDK ports for x86 Linux, that is not the _only_ platform on which Linux runs. Linux is also available on:
Alpha (DEC) ARM Hitachi SuperH HP PA-RISC IBM iSeries (aka AS/400) IBM zSeries IBM S/390 MIPS (DEC, SGI and others) Motorola 68K (Atari, Amiga, Mac) PowerPC (IBM pSeries, PowerMac) Sun SPARC Transmeta IBM's port of Linux to its mini and mainframe lines is actually quite promising. But Sun doesn't support it with a JDK release. IBM will no doubt do this just as it has with it's other hardware platforms. But I doubt that such releases will occur concurrently with Sun's JDK releases -- given the historical track record.
