Uh... Linux... To get a decent VM I changed my Linux box into a Solaris
box (Solaris 8 is free, who the hell cares?), and never had a problem
ever since...
I am a fellow Linux supporter, but as long as they don't fix a couple of
issues on multithreading and in the glibc-2, well, I'm not going to use
it... Too bad.

BTW, did anyone had any experience with Linux and the new JDK 1.3 from
Sun or IBM?
