Greg Lewis, who heads the FreeBSD-java porting effort has released the first "alpha" patchset for FreeBSD, the seventh in a series of patchsets representing months of work by many *BSDers. These volunteers have made a tremendous effort that is sure to enhance the *BSD plaform whether Sun comes around to an "official" port or not. The best way to say "Thanks" is to 1) help with testing, 2) VOTE!
FYI: I am not a part of the java porting team, just a user who would like to use a native port and support the *BSD platform.

Lets not ruin BSD. Keep it pure :) Say NO to Java. We talk C and Fortran don't you know (as well as Runes)...

PS - I do write Java 2, but I hate it... Now where did I hide all those pointers...

And then there are the BSD people. We don't seem to care much(most of us, anyway,) about Linus's "world domination." As such, we'd do best to worry more about the quality of our systems and less about whether Scott McNealy's self-mutilating corporation is going to "bless" us with technology that was released immature and still hasn't really become what was originally promised 5 years ago.
