Hello.

I am considering using linux version of sun-jdk on production server, and I
would like to know your experience with it. Is it working? Is it stable?
Is it Fast? I was able to run only classic VM from sun-jdk, there are two
others (Hotspot client, hotspot server), which doesn't run because of
unimplemented sigaltstack system call in linux emulation. Should I run
one of Hotspot VM on linux machine, or is it sufficient to run classic vm (on
NetBSD)? Which other Java VM would you recommend instead of one from
sun-jdk (IBM? Kaffe? others?)?

I need to run JBoss application server together with Tomcat. Unfortunately
I am new to Java technologies and have little experience with it. I have
to setup new server and I am seriously thinking about putting NetBSD there
instead of Linux, which we used on our other servers. One of our
requirements is running solid Java VM there.

Thank you for sharing your experience.
